Instead of
promises full of emptiness that come from the world and our culture, God comes
in the seemingly empty to bring us tremendous, priceless gifts and His
presence.
At the
empty, cross we find forgiveness and grace. At the empty tomb, we find eternal
life and victory over death. In the empty Easter clothes left behind by the
Risen Lord, we find the gift of the Holy Spirit. In the empty places in our
life, lacking in hope … we find the wings of God, His hand of promise and His
love and deliverance.
Here is the
foundation of our relationship with God: His promises are sure and they are always true
in a world that sometimes seems full of empty promises. He brings life and light where it seems there is only darkness and emptiness. It is what a Creator and a Redeemer does.
"In Him was life, and the life was the light of men" (John 1:4 NKJV).
