Hopeful - the theme for this week is an excellent one. Hope is that feeling of expectation that something we desire so much will come through even though we may not know how that will come to be. As an applicant in need of employment, you submit your CV in a company, go for an interview. When you return what happens? You begin to hope that the employment will be yours, isn't it?

At one point in time we've all been hopeful. From the silliest of things to the greatest of our needs. We're hopeful that our dreams will come through, we'll build that dream house, we'll live to see the next five years, we'll graduate, we'll marry, the list just goes on and on.

To key into this theme, I chose a song by Maverick City ft Naomi Raine and the song says God will work it out. Here, I'm looking at another angle of hope. Hope in situations that are beyond our control. What happens when there's a great need in the family and you can't provide? Your daughter wants to go to school in the best University but you cannot afford the fees? You're nursing an illness and the doctor says there's no cure for it? I bring you goodnews of hope today that God will work it out, be encouraged!

Lyrics

Before I knew my name, before I drew a breath
He was making ways for me
Now and everyday, in each and every step
He is making ways for me
When my heart is full of doubt
Feels like faith is running out
I've come too far to turn around
I know..

God will work it out
God will work it out
One thing I know
One thing I've found
God will work it out.

Pushing past the fear, fighting to relief
He is making ways for me
And He won't let me down, never ever leave
He's still making ways for me
When my heart is full of doubt
It feels like faith is running out
I've come too far to turn back 'round
I know…

God will work it out
God will work it out
One thing I know
One thing I've found
No, I know God will work it out

Be encouraged
Be encouraged
Be encouraged, oh

Be still my soul
Be still and know
Lean in, take hold
In God alone

God will work it out
God will work it out
One thing I know
One thing I've found
God will work it out.
