We’ve
talked a lot lately about the subject of HOPE!
All of us need hope. Problems and
discouragement aren’t choosy about who they keep company. All of us have to
face the enemy of hopelessness at one point or another.
Do you
realize that “hope’ is both a noun and verb? Writer Karen Cook explains that
“Hope is a feeling of expectation and desire for certain things to happen.”
(noun) But it is also the action (verb) of putting your faith in that hope….and
moving forward!
At times….hope can be a little
scary! Anytime we put our faith in
something “unseen”, it can be a bit unnerving.
That’s why a strong faith in God is so important! As Hebrews 11 tells us, “Faith is being sure of what we
hope for and certain of what we do not see.”
When we begin to doubt how strong
our faith is, we may need a hope-booster by going to the eleventh chapter of Hebrews and reading
about those who make up the “FAITH Hall of Fame”! Those people put their hope
in God…and God was faithful in EVERY instance!
If He did this in “Bible times”, He will do it for us today. For you see, our God does NOT change! He is a God of HOPE!
Put your hope in Christ and
savor the sweet taste of His JOY!
