Keep your hope alive!!!

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day, I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank God for faith, but we also thank God for hope. Romans 12v12 tells us to “Rejoice and exult in hope…” The dictionary defines hope as “a feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen” and “a feeling of trust. Synonyms of hope include expect, trust, anticipate, wish, look forward to, expectation, optimism, faith, hopefulness. 

Hope is a very powerful force. Hebrews 11v1 says “Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.” As believers, we place our hope on the Word of God. God says something, we believe Him and begin to hope for that thing to come to pass. It is so important that we keep our hope alive. For example, we are confident that Jesus is coming back for the church His bride. We should also remain hopeful concerning other things we are trusting God for.

Let’s see what Romans 4v18-22 (NLT) says about Abraham: “ Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!” And Abraham’s faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead—and so was Sarah’s womb. Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises. And because of Abraham’s faith, God counted him as righteous.” Hallelujah. Child of God, keep your hope alive. Keep your faith in God alive – it is a righteous thing to do!
