Good morning Children of God,
The Living Word of God - Where is your hope ?
The greatest source of hope is found in the Bible, where we discover that true hope can be found in Christ alone. For it is written in Psalm 39:6-7, Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee. Hope is the essence of the believers faith. We hope to go to heaven one day, we hope that God hears and answers our prayers, and we hope that our labor isn’t in vain. Amen ! The biblical definition of hope is "confident expectation." Hope is a firm assurance regarding things that are unclear and unknown, for it is in Romans 8:24-25,For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? Very powerful verse understand, what we hope for, we see not, then do we wait with patience for it? Yes ! For it is written in Hebrews 11:1, Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hope is a fundamental component of the life of the righteous. God has warned us by His Word. Now, read Proverbs 23:17-19, Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off. Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way. Understand, without hope, life loses its meaning. Let us look at Jeremiah's Hope, read Lamentations 3:17-20,And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity. And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me. Heavenly Father, we give thanks to you God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always to you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have for all the saints; because of the hope laid up for you in heaven, of which you previously heard in the word of truth, the gospel. For it is written in 1Peter 1:3-5,Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.Let us seek your face day and night. Thank you Lord for your Living Word. Amen !
Today's Scripture !
For it is written in Romans 5:1-5, Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;And patience, experience; and experience, hope:And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
