Without hope we have nothing

Greetings:
The world we live in is filled with troubled situations.
People are losing their jobs. Prices of essential items are going up while wages are not. An ever-present threat of war looms over us. Christians are being innocently persecuted and slain just for proclaiming their Christian faith.
There are natural catastrophes around the world. There is plenty of uncertainty in what the future holds for us each day, even here in southern Indiana.
We are not the only ones that have ever felt that there is no hope. 
Even Bible heroes, like David, Job, Moses, Jonah, Jeremiah, and Elijah had their times when they wanted to give up.
Humans have definitions of hope that is far different from God’s definition.
The biblical definition of hope is not a 'hope-so', but a 'know-so'. Our hope in God is surer than the sun rising in the morning.
Where is hope found?  It is in the Bible - the Word of God.
Psalm 119:74 says, “I have put my hope in your word”.
Psalm 119:81 states, “… I have put my hope in your word”.
Psalm 130:5 we read, “… in his word (The Bible) I put my hope”.
Hope includes difficulty. Action naturally follows from hope. Hope is not a passive waiting for something to happen.
Do you have hope?
Do you really hope?
Do you hope in alll things?
Do you believe all things?
We desperately need to understand the power of Christian hope.
C.S. Lewis once wrote, “Hope reminds us that the Father who works with us in the field is the very same Father who plays with us at home. Hope gives us this pleasure. Hope gives us this rest. And hope gives us the courage we need to get up in the morning and head out to the fields again tomorrow.”
We must remember there is nothing on this earth more certain than hope in God.  He will never leave us nor will he ever forsake us.  He is our anchor in the present day storm and for any future storms, we might face.
Be blessed.
