HELLO TO ALL and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
Hope is confident expectation.
Hope is a firm assurance regarding things that are unclear and unknown.
Hope is a fundamental component of the life of the righteous.
Without hope life loses its meaning.
Now more than ever Christians need to have hope.
Our faith is being persecuted and tested in every area of life. The
things we took for granted: that our children would be safe in school,
that our jobs would be secure, our retirement plans were sound, bringing
the gospel to the world would be met with hope. Yet, our healthcare is
in peril. People are deciding everyday whether to eat or get their
prescriptions filled(they sometimes cannot do both), and something as
simple as affording to gas your car in order to go to work. This,
too, has been jeopardized. All of these things are out of our control
and at times they are mind boggling.
We cannot seem to "wrap our minds
around it", but we have to depend on the One who formed the mind. The
One who created peace(Jehovah Shalom). The One who calmed the storm with
three little words..."Peace Be Still." God
says in his Word in (John 16:33) "These things I have spoken unto
you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have
tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." You
have hope in this world today because you are an overcomer. There has
been things brought in your life that you had to overcome. Our God is
the God of hope, who causes us to "abound in hope by the power of the
Holy Spirit" (Romans 15:13). The Bible is full of God's promises that he
gives to each Christian - a hope that will not disappoint (Romans 5:5).
