Our Hope is in God Alone!

“Be like the bird who, pausing in her flight awhile on boughs too slight,

feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings,
knowing she hath wings.”
Victor Hugo
 
Romans 15:13. “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”
 
“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character, and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, Whom He has given us.” Rom. 5: 1-5
 



To hope for a better future is futile, if the object of your hope isn’t dependable. To rely on the temporary things of this world…good health, a job, money….all of these may be gone tomorrow.
But to place your hope in God is not only wise, it is the one and only path to peace and everlasting life. How do we know this? What is it about hoping in God that allows us to live our lives differently from those around us? Why is hope in God so secure?

Because we know that God loves us with an everlasting love beyond human comprehension. John 3:16
Because we know that God is unchanging and has kept His promises throughout history. Psalm 90:2
Because we have the witness of those who have gone before. Hebrews 11
Because He has given us His Word as a Guidebook for living. Hebrews 13:5
Because He has given us His Holy Spirit as our personal Comforter and Guide. Romans 15:13
Because finally, He has given us the Gift of Himself ~ the Lord Jesus Christ, Immanuel! John 10:10



All of these acts of kindness from the Throne of Heaven give us absolute certainty and assuredness that He will never fail us, if we place our hope in Him.   So don’t be discouraged! Don’t look around at the failings of this world. Don’t allow anything to steal your hope! Hope only in God and keep your eyes fixed on the Author and Finisher of our faith, the Lord Jesus Christ!


“Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.” Psalm 42:11

“Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart,
All you who hope in the LORD.” Psalm 31:24

~~~~~~~~~~

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.”
― Emily Dickinson

    This is just beautiful Becky. We can only place our hope in God because all other things are only temporary. Thank God He is not temporary and he loves us so much. I especially love Psalm 31:24
