H.O.P.E. – Hopeful, Overcomer, Passionate, Eternal perspective
Hope: to cherish a desire with anticipation, to place
confidence in, a desire of some good, to expect. While spending precious time in
the Bible with our precious daughter when she was much younger and learning to
read we were turning the pages and she proclaimed HOPE… I said; yes, that
is hope, we must put all of our Hope in
God! She loves to read words in the Bible and this is one of those words we
should not take lightly today.
What are we placing our hope in today?
Are we placing our hope in the One who gives us eternal hope?
We must have hope, and we must have a positive outlook when
things seem to be opposite to what we think they should be, especially during
such a critical time in history.
Placing our Hope in God gives us the assurance and evidence
of the faith we need to place all of our trust and Hope in Jesus Christ.
Here are just a few:
Psalms 31:24 Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your
heart, All you who hope in the LORD.
Psalm 119:114 You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope
in Your word.
Psalm 71:14 But I will hope continually, and will praise You
yet more and more.
Proverbs 13: 12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when
the desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
In the book of Genesis 12: 1-3, God gave Abram hope for a
great nation and he told him he would bless him and that he would be a
blessing. Abram (Abraham) had to give up a lot to place his trust and Hope in
God for this prophecy to be fulfilled. This is just one example of how much God
cares about us and our daily struggles. He cares about our sinful nature, and
yet He cares about our eternal destiny.
Will you place your Hope in God today?
Will you place your Hope in God today?
Rest in the Hope He offers today and every day! Blessings…
