Bringing Hope
As everyday begins with a new beginning so does each day begin with a renewed hope. The expectation of each dream gets a “rev up” each morning when the sun rises. As long as one has breath, there is hope for a better tomorrow. The failures of the past or the frustration of a the present moment cannot follow you into your new day! You can make it happen and you can make the choice to embrace the hope and know that God will always make a way for you. He will continue to lead you and guide through each day as you pursue your dreams. When you go through difficulties this produces endurance and endurance produces character… character produces hope! That hope will never put you to shame because God’s love has been poured out in your hearts by His Spirit (Romans 5:3-5).
All of humanity has a continued hope in Him and the confession should always be that there is a firm Hope in God (Psalm 43:5). People put there hope in treasures that will rust, or will loose value over the years and may even be stolen from them. But He, God, who has created the heavens and the earth, will never loose sight of His creation the seeks Him and loves Him. (Psalm 33:18). You show your hope by your expectation of the promises of God for your life. The approach that approach you take as you enter into a new day and the posture that you take as negative situations try to envelope your dreams. Stand fast in the Word of God and know that what He has said He will do (Hebrews 10:23). The Lord Our God is more than able to do all that you ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).
This is the “package” that you need to present to the “hopeless” of this world. In every neighborhood, in every city there are people who have lost hope and our seeking answers in the wrong places when a heart is hopeless it will make a person sick and dismayed about life in general. Without hope why continue to dream or even ponder what a new day may bring. That is exactly what the enemy of the soul desires to steal from you, your hope. That courageous and bold expectation you have in every situation. Knowing that even though you do not see it you believe it and know that in the depth of your being you have embraced the substance of the promise given. Hope is an anchor to your soul (Hebrews 6:19)!
The best idea you will ever have is the one that God gives you! The best dream you will ever have will come from God. The best future you will ever have has been designed by God just for you! These are the words which must be lived out “loud” to a world desiring to be enclosed and withdrawn from the God who has created all things (Colossians 1:16; 1 Timothy 4:4) Often times, “hope” can be the greatest sermon ever preached with the least amount of words (Psalm 62:5-6). Just bring hope to each new day and God will do the rest! The message for this generation is simply… There is hope in God!
