Certain events take place at some point in one's life which causes one's hope to soar.This season,your hope will soar.In 1Samuel 1:9-18,Hannah had been going to shiloh and had been praying without receiving any change in her situation.She was probably never noticed.But one day,while praying,the man of God noticed her but misjudged her - taking her for a drunkard; by the time she explained herself,the man of God asked God to grant her request.From that moment,Hannah was no longer sad;she was free with everybody and happy because suddenly her hope began to rise.Even though she was yet to see the manifestation of her miracle,she had however experienced. An incident that had convinced her beyond reasonable doubts that the tide will surely turn. Similarly,in Mark 10:46-52,blind Bartimaeus had been staying at the same road side begging for years without receiving the help he so much needed,until one day,the Helper of the helpless passed by.As he began to shout out the name of Jesus,he heard someone say,'Be of good cheer,Jesus is calling you'.On hearing that good news,his hope arose.The King of Glory was about to pass judgment on his problem of many years. Yes, his hope soared high even though he was not yet healed.He threw away his garment and headed for the Lord because something told him that at last,his tide was about to turn. Also,in Acts 3:1-8,the lame man had begged from the same location for several years until he gave up hope of ever receiving any healing other than alms.But one day,the same men who had always given him alms came by and as usual,he asked and they said to him,'Focus on us'.As he looked on them,he saw the glory of God.At that point,hope arose in his heart to receive something of them. It does not matter how long you have been at that particular bus stop of your life,the Lord is passing your way this season. Let your hope arise today, be full of expectation of his touch because the tide is about to turn in your favour.
