How do some people, even in the midst of struggles, live with a sense of purpose and hope? Considering all the bad news in the world, the injustice and trouble, many other people fall in despair or get aggressive, others drift into addictions or get on other bad ways. But how do some manage to keep a sense of purpose and hope? It is more than positive thinking. The Bible reveals that as a believer, your calling is not only to have a fulfilling task here to serve, but also to inherit an unshakable hope and joy, despite the challenges you may face.Isaiah 61 verses 6a + 7 give a glimpse of your true identity and destiny.

He cares for the animals as well
Does God only care for certain matters and selected people? We may not be able to imagine that God takes care of all matters of all people and even for each animal as well, because as humans we can only focus at a certain number of things at a time, but God as the almighty creator takes care for all, the bible tells us that God cares for all people, no matter what background or origin or circumstances, he cares for all things, big and small, and even for all the animals: Psalm 36 [6] LORD, You protect mankind and animals, all people and animals are under your care. And we even can learn from the animals: Jesus explains that it makes no sense to worry too much about earthly matters: Matthew 6: Look at the birds: they do not plant seeds, they do not store grains, they do not gather a harvest and put it in barns; yet your Father in heaven takes care of them. Therefore - Jesus explains - do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear.Who by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
Let's pray with words from Psalm 36: Your loving devotion, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds. 6 Your righteousness is like the highest mountains; Your judgments are like the deepest sea. You care for people and animals alike, O LORD. 7 How precious is Your loving devotion, O God, that we may take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.

To Where do You Turn Your Heart?
People have different interests depending on life's circumstances and also depending on the age and other factors. One is mainly interested in playing games, another loves to spend time gardening, another one pursues his business, another is active in the stock market, others go hiking or join festivals, events and parties. To where do you turn your heart? The psalmist prays: Psalm 119 [36]. If we turn our heart to him, if we give the first priority in life to the almighty, eternal creator God, then we can enjoy all the other things that life offers without regrets. If we turn our heart to the holy Lord then we will find his grace, that is revealed in Jesus, who humbled himself and suffered on our behalf on the cross: Philippians 2 [8]. His obedience has won the biggest victory of history, the victory over devil, death, sin and hell. And everyone is invited to join in that victory that lasts forever. Whatever background you come from, whatever hobbies you pursue or situation you are in, you are invited to turn your heart to the Lord.Let's pray with words from Psalm 119 [33 - 37]: Point out your rules, LORD, and I won't disobey. Help me to understand your Law; I promise to obey it with all my heart. Direct me by your commands! I love to do what you say. Make me want to obey you, rather than to be rich. Take away my foolish desires, and let me find life by walking with you.
