Hollywood Prayer Network On Hope

DAY 4 OF 7

DON'T HOPE IN WEALTH

"Hope is the struggle of the soul, breaking loose from what is perishable, and attesting her eternity." Herman Melville

PRAY: Father, I come to you seeking humility and vulnerability as I ask You to reveal to me where I may be arrogant, and in what material wealth do I put my hope? Please show me areas of my faith where I have bought into the cultural belief that wealth is important, powerful, and freeing. I know that You are the one who will richly provide me with everything I need and want, but I need You to show me how to really live that out.
REFLECT:  Can you recall the times when you have judged a rich person for being cheap, stingy or arrogant? Did you ever consider that they were struggling with a spiritual battle, and that it is often more of a curse to be rich and not necessarily a blessing? What a thought to realize that the rich often depend on an uncertain faith in their money and they don't realize that it will, at some point, disappoint them. Or is that you? Do you believe that God is the only one who richly provides your every need for your enjoyment?
ACT:  Be radical with your wealth today - regardless of whether you have a lot or very little. Give something away, give money to someone in need. Bring joy to someone else through your generosity, trusting that God is not only supplying them through you, but He will give you everything that you need as well, including a richer hope in Him. You can't out-give God.

About this Plan

Hollywood Prayer Network On Hope

HPN wants to help meet your personal spiritual needs, supply you a solid daily devotional, as well as encourage you to include praying for the people, the projects, and the incredible influence of the Hollywood entertainment industry.  We see it as the world’s most influential mission field and yet the people there struggle with the same issues that we do.  This week we’re celebrating a topic that runs all through the entire Bible – God’s life-changing promise of HOPE.  God tells us to hope in Him, to not put our hope in the things of the world, that suffering produces hope and that hoping in our wealth is worthless but hoping in Him will never disappoint us.  These commands and promises are thrilling, but so hard to do.  Join us this week in letting go of what’s comfortable and embracing God’s promise to put all of our hope in Him!
