Learning Hope from the Master

Hebrew 6:18-20

What a way to get back going. Learning how to see difficult situations and sometimes people that do negative things in a way that Jesus would. He saw these things with hope. He saw good. He saw the Master's plan play out in all situations. I have journaled about this very thing recently in my own journal at home. It is a difficult thing to process, seeing good in bad situations. It is something that doesn't come natural to a born sinner. But when our hearts and heads are right with God we can see good and see "the plan" in all things. At the end of this section in the devotional there is an extra scripture, it is Romans 12:9-16. What an amazing scripture to base your life on. It is a simple guideline on how to live your days out.
I really like verse 9.
"Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil, cleave to that which is good."
Abhor- to regard with extreme repugnance or aversion, detest utterly, loath, abominate
Cleave- to adhere closely, stick, cling
