When our will is weak and the way is weary and long, the
best thing during these times is patience and most of all –don't’ give up
hope! Remind our self of God’s
greatness. Trust in His promises. I know, it’s easier said than done. But this is all we need, and nothing else
around it.
Christian hope is not just a shallow sort of “positive
thinking” theology. Rather, it must be
rooted in our knowledge and personal relationship with God, recognition and
confession of sins and of the full-undeserved forgiveness of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. As bearers of the
Word of God, our calling is to give hope.
No wonder that the enemies’ greatest and most frequently target is
“hope”.
The enemies’ use fear, doubt and unbelief to attack our faith
and to destroy our hope. Cut off the
negative thoughts that feed the hopelessness.
“Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against
the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of
Christ…” 2 Corinthians 10:5
Negative attitudes come from negative thoughts. Wherever the mind goes, the body follows.
Though sometimes human forgets, but we should always remind
our self that if we are in Christ, we should have the mind of Christ (1
Corinthians 2:14-16). Remember, none of
negative stuff comes from God. There is
nothing negative about the way God thinks or acts.
There will be many battles.
But we are more than conqueror through Christ Jesus (Romans 8:37). We win as we keep the faith in His hope. When Jesus said He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, He was indicating that He is our Hope. Our hope is based on nothing less than Him! –Mhel P.
I love this old hymnal
song. It's so true!
My hope is built on nothing less, than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus’ Name.
On Christ the solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand.
