Text: Romans 8:24 (KJV)
For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is
not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
One thing many of us are afraid of is the future
because of ignorance of our inheritances. The good news is God is already in
our future. We ask ourselves this question time and time again, “what does the
future have in store for us?” This thought has brought a lot of doubt, unbelief,
and hopelessness in our hearts, but the truth is when we decided to accept
Jesus as our Lord and personal Saviour, we were given this beautiful confidence
to anchor our hope. Hope
makes you dream into your tomorrow and not living without a future. It is not
just imaginative rather a realistic
thought. James 1:17- Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down
from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of
turning. Hope is
quite similar to faith because you have not seen it, but you anxiously wait for
the evidence to show by believing on the spoken word of the covenant. The main
difference between these two is that in faith, you are not anxious; you have
full confidence in who you have faith in, which is God. Can you imagine that very difficult
expectation? But Hope tells us it will still happen because our anchor is in
Jesus. Don’t start fixing how that concern will come because the template of your
future and hope are in God. Just take it
as simple as that. When
you combine hope with faith, it even makes your Christian experience more beautiful, and in turn, you
will increase in your faith in Christ.
Interestingly, this gift of hope is a great one because it
does not look at the news of the happenings of now, but it focuses on the
future which is beyond the present circumstances. In our world of today, many
people are losing hope without realizing that our salvation came to us by hope,
so we should not get tensed up, but instead, be rest assured in God’s promises
to you. Always remember, your hope is powered by the Holy Spirit, and that is
because you carry God the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit which makes us to be
joyful. Romans 15:13- 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. I urge you to remember that you carry God in your heart, and
He is your Hope, so be rest assured in Him and relax for your future is sure.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, may we see daily our future
in the scriptures as to revive our confidence in Jesus name.
2. Oh Lord, may our hope in you take
away depression and discouragement despite the limitations in Jesus name.
ACTION QUOTE:
