Thought for Today: “Living With Hope”

In this world we live in, hope seems to be in short supply.

As we look at what is going on around us, we tend to lose a lot of enthusiasm and energy for life, and we begin a dangerous spiral downward into darkness and despair. But God wants to bring to us hope in order to see us revived and blossoming once again.

Life is often hard and unrelenting, and many people feel like an old dead tree stump. They’ve been cut down by the trials and tribulations of life. They’ve been cut down by illness and disease, the loss of a loved one, abuse, divorce, bankruptcy, foreclosure, evictions, or they’ve been cut down by the loss of a job or a career. They feel like they have no hope for the future, and that’s because they have no external source of life that they can hold on too.

But at the scent of hope there is life and there is joy

The only source of true hope, that which we can send out towards is Jesus Christ. Jesus is the only source of true hope, a hope that will overflow our lives with peace and joy.

Therefore, let’s get to know God as we daily get into His word.
