Where is Your Hope?

June 1, 2013

This certain hope of being saved is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls, connecting us with God himself . . .
–Hebrews 6:19 (TLB)

What are you placing your hope in for the future? Your country’s government, educational system, some plan or organization? My hope is in a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ, who sits at the right hand of God. I have hope and know that I’m going to heaven. And, right here and now in this present life, I have God’s presence to help me.

Suppose we had no Bible. Suppose there were no cross, no salvation, no empty tomb. Suppose we had nothing to hang on except, “Do your best, try to patch it up, do what you can.” Oh, but we have a hope. There is a plan of redemption, a plan for the future. The New Testament is an exciting Book to read, it is so full of hope and expectancy. And God is interested in you!

Prayer for the day

Reading Your Word, my heavenly Father, makes me realize that the world and all its heartaches are so transitory. Inspire me to reach others with Your message of hope.

God's Holy Written Word is so full of Hope, Love , Peace , Joy .........and the secret of true , lasting happiness . This can all be obtained by having a personal relationship with his Son , Jesus Christ.

To Rich. I have experienced extreme loneliness and rejection, so I understand. Please remember that god's love doesn't depend on our "feelings." Have faith His always there. In fact, it is when we feel most alone, that He is most surely present.

Emptiness of life can be filled by spreading His Word around, in the meanwhile efforts can be made for the immediate need.

I was saved at 11yrs.old. I am now 54yr. I have gone to church all my life, but no one ever really told me or pointed it out that I should read my Bible everyday. It has been 3yrs.now and it has made such a difference in my life. It has made me realize how much MY HEAVENLY FATHER really LOVES ME and is there for always. I should always go to him first about every situation in my life. I have also learned that there is POWER in his word. I was abused mentally.

God's Holy Word is the best road map you will ever find. There is abundant hope to be be found on each page. Why would anyone want to wander through life aimlessly when the best route is free for the asking.

I have been out of work for 2 years and I have just about given up on everything. I really do need a job. I feel like I have no purpose in this life but I know God has something for me but what? I just want to feel normal again.
