PREPARE A ROOM FOR ME
You must maintain hope even in darkness.
He was always living by faith. Always believing and waiting for the best. He asked Philemon to prepare a room for him because he was going to visit. What is unusual of this petition?
To understand this, you must understand the circumstances and Paul’s age when he wrote this. He was not in a five-star hotel enjoying a barbeque. He was in jail. The Bible says:
Paul did not get depressed, he always lived hoping for the best because he knew the power of prayer and from jail Paul said:
It does not matter the situation you are going through, do not get depressed in the Christmas season, live hoping for the best.
If Paul being old and in jail can speak like this, then you and I can also tell the upcoming year “prepare me a room because the best of my life is coming in this new year.”
Think:
Have you felt in darkness and have you lost hope?
What are you waiting for from God?
What do you need to start speaking by faith?
