Hope in the Lord
Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 12:12, Isaiah 40:31, I Peter 1:3
At a time in the world, where there seems to be little hope, those who trust, obey and follow the Lord have hope. This hope in the Lord brings overcoming joy and peace as the soul is refreshed in remembering that He:
Created the world
Sustains all creation
Sees and knows all that is happening
Gives grace and strength in times of need
Hears and answers prayers
Provides for one’s needs
Keeps a record of all one says and does
Will come again to receive His own
Just thinking about all that God is and does bring great hope to the trusting soul. This hope transcends all the challenges, struggles, and difficulties of life and brings joy to the soul. Many wander through life not knowing the Lord and without Him, there is no hope. It is the great joy of each believer to share this hope of the Lord with others. If one had the solution for a major life problem, one would be glad to share it with others. Well, knowing the Lord gives great hope in the challenges of each day and the unknown future. It is a great joy to share this hope in the Lord with others so they too can know Christ and have the hope that only He can give.
Prayer: thank You Lord for the great hope You give that sustains my life.
