Got Hope?

Read the following scriptures:

1.   “For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth.”  (Psalm 71:5)

2.   “For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.”  (Jeremiah 29:11, AMP)

3.   “Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.”  (1 Peter 1:21)

4.   “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.”  (Romans 15:13)

Do you have hope?  In whom or what do you place that hope?  Maybe you have been hurt in the past and have let go of your hope.  Been there, done that, have the t-shirt! J

Let me encourage you today, to place your hope in God and you will not be disappointed.  Begin to expect with confidence that God will surely comfort you, deliver you, restore relationships, prosper you, and heal you, your family…whatever you need.  He is ALL that!  He is El Shaddai (see Exodus 6:2-3), God Almighty! 

Meditate on the above scriptures until you are convinced that...God is a God of hope!  We don’t have to look to others or ourselves but only to Him.  Don’t give up, have hope in God.  Hallelujah!
