Hope In God

"Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God." Psalm 43:5

Hope in God. As believers in Jesus Christ we have the wonderful joy of hoping in God for good things for the future.

What does hope mean? The dictionary says to hope is "to look forward to with desire and reasonable confidence; to believe, desire, or trust."

Without God, our hopes may be in vain. With God, we know that if we have truly accepted Christ as Savior and Lord we will have eternal life in heaven. Our sins are forgiven. God will protect and watch over us as we trust in Him. He will provide for us and care for our needs. God loves us and has a wonderful plan for our lives.

We can trust God for good things for our families and loved ones. Even when difficulties come, God will see us through them and will care for us and protect us. We can have joy in God's Holy Spirit. We may not know exactly what will happen in the future, but we know God will be with us in this life and in the next.

An old song says "Our hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness." We are protected and loved and cared for by God not because of our own goodness but because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross for our sins. To God be all the praise and glory! God loves you and He will protect and care for you and lead you and guide you.

So, this week, let us pray that

• God will give you joy and hope for a wonderful future in His great love
• God will provide financially for our ministry at Global Media Outreach and protect us so we can reach even more people for Jesus Christ
• The whole world will know that Jesus Christ can give eternal life and hope for the future

THANK YOU so much for your prayers.

May God bless you.
