Savor the Sweet Taste of Hope & Joy



            Have you had your Joy Juice today?  Don’t be wary of drinking it! It’s made with only the purest of ingredients: concentrated hope and love! When mixed with faith, it makes a tasty serving of JOY.

            We’ve talked a lot lately about the subject of HOPE!  Problems and discouragement aren’t particular with whom they keep company!  All of us have to face the enemy of hopelessness at one point or another.

            Be reminded that “hope” is both a noun and verb. Writer Karen Cook explains: “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!

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; when we need a “hope booster”, let’s turn in the Bible to the eleventh chapter of Hebrews and read the “Hall of Fame for Faith”! These people put their hope in God…and God was faithful in EVERY time!  If He did this in “Bible times”, He will do it for us today. Our God does NOT change!  He is a God of HOPE!
           
Put your hope in Christ and savor the sweet taste of JOY!
