#1,519: With God There is Hope

The hopeless can begin to experience hope when they turn their attention back to God. We choose to believe before our situation changes. Anyone can believe in God after He works a miracle, but faith is to be exercised before the prayer is answered.Main Points:1.  Have you ever felt hopeless? As you looked at your options and considered the future, there seemed to be no hope. It’s a terrible emotion to feel and experience.2. It sounds overly simplistic, but with God, there is always hope. Ultimately, for the believer, we have the promise of eternal life. This life is not all there is. We will spend forever in the glory and majesty of our Savior. But while this promise awaits us, life here on earth can be difficult. It can feel as if we can’t take it anymore. We feel hopeless.3. Hope is the reservoir from which we draw the strength to keep going. Hope is what clears your head and keeps your eyes focused on the right things when trials weigh upon your soul. It is biblical hope that makes the difference.Today’s Scripture Verses:Psalm 25:3 - “No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame…”2 Corinthians 4:18 - “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”Quick Links:Subscribe to The 5 Minute Discipleship NewsletterDonate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group
