Hope

There are few sadder sights on earth than the sight of a person who has lost all hope. In difficult times, hope can be elusive, but Christians need never lose it. After all, God is good; His love endures; He has promised His children the gift of eternal life.

If you find yourself falling into the spiritual traps of worry and discouragement, consider the words of Jesus. It was Christ who promised, "In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world" (John 16:33 NKJV). This world is, indeed a place of trials and tribulations, but as believers, we are secure. God has promised us peace, joy, and eternal life. And of course, God always keeps His promises.
Never be afraid to hope - or to ask - for a miracle.

When my kids were young I got some music tapes from Focus on the Family that were Bible verses set to music. This verse was one of them. I love it, with or without music because of the promise it gives.

Thank God He is our hope. We can trust Him and feed on His Word. He does have so many precious promises.

Yes, we are never without hope when we have Christ and His promises.
