Hope In HIS Power, Love And Care For You!
(Editor's note: Hope, when referred to in the Word of GOD means something drastically different from the common language usage. It is a courageous, committed and consistent certainty that what has been Promised by CREATOR will indeed come to pass in our personal walk with HIM!
Isaiah
40:31 Isaiah
40 Isaiah
40:30-32
but those who hope in
the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings
like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint
Here are some actions verbs. They apply to you if you hope!
Renew - Soar - Run - Walk
That's right! These words apply to you if you have hope. And the reverse is true. They do not apply to you if you have no hope. So, here is a very easy way to evaluate the state of you hope.
Do you feel renewed? Is your life full of power, strength, 'JOY', refreshing? Do you overcome trouble when it comes over you? Can you run the race of life without growing weary? Can you walk the Path of Life without giving up?
Well, don't feel too bad if you cannot answer a resounding Yes to each of these. We are all in a state of change (called sanctification) that gives us a mix of opposing virtues. But if you answered a resounding No! to the above survey, you need hope! Stat! (that is hospital talk for Now, Immediately, Right Away! Emergency!)
As we always try to present the answer as well as the problem, here is some help. Do not despair, but hope in the LORD. Hope is HIS Power, Love, Care for you and Mercy. We get into trouble when we look too closely at ourselves and not at HIS ability to work in us and through us.
Set
your eyes on HIM! Lift
your head to the Hills of CREATOR,
from whence
comes your help. HE
is always available for act in and on your behalf!
