Hope In Tough Times

Is it possible to face difficult situations with Hope? We must confess that our God does not appreciate us standing by doing nothing. We live in a world that struggles with hopelessness. The Bible tells us that in the last days, perilous times will come, earthquakes, famines, storms floods, and pain. Paul encourages us not to be discouraged, not to lose sight of the big picture, over which God is in control.
Vs. 19, tells us to live with eager expectation and anticipation:- “Keep Hope Alive”. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ, the promise is that there is something better. Troubles does not last always because our God is a God of all hope, opening doors and providing for us. As long as we speak the name of Jesus, there is Hope.
2 Corinthians 4:18, says “therefore we do not loose heart inwardly we are renewed day by day”. Let us fix our eyes on what we don’t see, God fights for us, He keeps us in the hallow of His hands. This Hope in God does two things:
a) It forbids us from settling for things of this world, and
b) It turns us from pain to God’s Glory.



THOUGHT
In Jesus we can live in constant Hope.
