If you have been reduced to God being your only hope, You are in a good place. – Jim Laffon
Sometimes the only thing that gets a person through the most difficult and disappointing times in life is holding on to hope. In our lives sometimes hope is all we have. We face struggles in life not knowing what the outcomes will be. Somehow we know that we can not give up or loose hope. I have seen people who have lost all hope and in the process many of them have lost their faith in God. I don’t want to be one of those hopeless people. I want to cling to the hope that God has given me through him.
Verses for reflection:
- I pray that God, who gives you hope, will keep you happy and full of peace as you believe in him. May you overflow with hope through the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13).
- “What is Faith?” It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see (Hebrews 11:3).
- Such things were written in the scriptures long ago to teach us. They give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God’s promises(Romans 14:4)
