HOPE IN GOD IN HOPELESS TIMES! The times we live in are so troubled. People losing their jobs, the stock market falls, natural catastrophes, and uncertainty in what the future holds. In todays economy there is little to hope for the future. However, God is never caught off guard or by surprise. God knows the future. You are not the only one that has felt that there is no hope. Even Bible heroes had their times when they wanted to give up. Job, Moses, Jonah, Jeremiah, even the powerful prophet in the Old Testament, Ilijah! Humans have definitions of hope that are different from Gods. We might hope our team wins the championship, or we might hope we dont lose our jobs or our house. But the Biblical definition of hope is not a hope-so but a know-so. Our hope in God is surer than the sun rising in the morning. Just read some of the hope-verses in the Bible and put yourself or your own name in the place of I or we. Where is hope found? It is in the Bible, the Word of God. Psalm 119:74 I have put my hope in Your Word. Psalm 119:81 I have put my hope in Your Word. Psalm 130:5 ... in His Word I put my hope. Here is real hope. When a person reads the Word of God they can know for certain that they have a secure and certain future for God will never allow us to suffer beyond our own capabilities to handle it. There is nothing on this earth more certain than hope in God. He will never leave us nor will He ever forsake us. He is our anchor in the present and for the future. AMEN. (Jack Wellman)
