Audacious Hope...

This year for Advent, I am looking at the theme Audacious Hope. The scripture references will be from the prophet Isaiah.

Isaiah 9:2-7 this week and then Isaiah 11:1-9, 35:1-10, and finally 52:7-10. It is impossible to read those passages and not hear the hope of God bursting through the seams!

One of my facebook friends just posed the question about the difference between hope and optimisim. Optimism is about how we see things. The perspective with which we look. Hope is of God. God is the one who grants hope. And God's hope is audacious!

Spend some time reading Isaiah 9:2-7 this week and see if you don't feel, hear, see the audacious hope of God!
