Daaglikse Hoop, 365 Dagstukke

Waarheen draai jy om ware hoop te vind? Wat is die enigste anker in jou lewe wat nooit sal verander nie?

Daar is net een regte antwoord: God is ons stewige anker, die enigste bron van hoop wat nooit sal teleurstel nie. Hy wil hê sy hoop moet oorspoel tot in jou daaglikse lewe en jou die krag gee om vrees in die oë te kyk, stres te verminder, konflik op te los, gesonde verhoudings te bou, versoeking te oorkom en enige uitdaging aan te pak.

Die 365 dagstukke deur topverkoper-outeur Rick Warren sal jou help om geanker te bly in die enigste ware hoop waarop ons kan staatmaak: die hoop wat van God kom.

Ever feel like you're just floating along, not really anchored to anything? Are you searching for purpose and peace in your life? Do you feel like something is missing? It's time to anchor yourself to something solid, something unchanging—but not to just any old thing. Take hold of something firm and secure. Take hold of hope— “an anchor for the soul” (Hebrews 6:19 NIV).

So where do you turn to find real hope? The only answer is God. In Romans 15:13, the Bible says, “May God, the source of hope, fill you with joy and peace through your faith in him. Then you will overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” (GW).

God is the only source of hope that will never disappoint. In fact, the Bible says he is the God of hope. He wants his hope to overflow into your daily life, providing the power to conquer fear, reduce stress, resolve conflict, build healthy relationships, overcome temptation, and face any challenge.

In this Daily Hope Devotional: 365 Days of Purpose, Peace, and Promise, you will experience clear, practical, and biblical teaching, helping you stay anchored to the real and unfailing hope that comes only from God. Discover what God has for you in the pages of the Daily Hope Devotional:

• 365 daily devotions: Fill your heart with hope and encouragement every day
• Lessons rooted in the Bible: Scripture verses with each reading

With a foreword by Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life, this revised and updated edition will help you find true happiness--if you choose to accept it. We've all been hurt by other people, we've hurt ourselves, and we've hurt others. And as a result, every single one of us ends up with some sort of hurt, hang-up, or habit. But the question we all face is, Where do we go from here? Ten years after the original edition of Life's Healing Choices, this newly revised edition contains updates to basic teaching principles--based on ten years' experience--as well as new and contemporary testimonies. Using the Beatitudes of Jesus as a foundation, Rick Warren and John Baker, pastors at Saddleback Church, developed the eight choices shared in this book. In addition to practical, encouraging biblical teaching, each chapter includes two real-life testimonies of men and women whose lives have been transformed by living out the eight choices in this book. Through making each of these choices, you too will find God's pathway to wholeness, growth, spiritual maturity, happiness, and healing. You'll find real answers, real hope, and a real future--one healing choice at a time.

Die mees basiese vraag waarvoor elkeen in die lewe te staan kom, is: Hoekom is ek hier? Wat is my doel? Volgens Rick Warren lê die antwoord by God en sy ewige doel met elke mens se lewe. Ware betekenis en belang kom van insig in en vervulling van die doel waarvoor God ons op die aarde geplaas het.

Die doelgerigte lewe stel lesers in staat om te begryp waaroor die lewe eintlik gaan, en om die lewe te begin leef waarvoor God hulle geskep het.

Deur die gebruik van Bybelse verhale en deur die Bybel self te laat praat, verduidelik Warren God se vyf doelwitte vir ons elkeen:

• Ons is beplan vir God se behae: Jou eerste doel is om Hom opreg te aanbid
• Ons is gevorm vir God se familie: Jou tweede doel is om opregte sielsgemeenskap te ervaar
• Ons is geskep om soos Christus te word: Jou derde doel is om opregte dissipelskap te leer
• Ons is gevorm om God te dien: Jou vierde doel is om opregte bediening te beoefen
• Ons is gemaak vir ’n sending: Jou vyfde doel is om opregte Evangelieprediking uit te leef
