Hope

#hope #quotes




            Hope is the trust and feeling of expectation for a desired thing to happen. Sometimes we get caught up in the weariness of our circumstances and our hope of better days starts to fade.   Job 6;11  ''“What strength do I have, that I should still hope? What prospects, that I should be patient?''
            We can see how weak our own strength is when we get sick for a few days.  So why do we trust in ourselves so much?  Strength is eventually a progressive weakening process in our bodies.  No one can maintain and sustain their peak strength level for a lifetime.
           Don't lose hope, because believers are promised a new body after the death of this broken one.  2 Corinthians 5; 1-3  ''For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.'''
          I think we are all a little like Job.  We have doubts and questions but we must also have the faith of Job.  He could see past the earthly pain and knew God was to be faithful in his rewards later.  So, 'Keep Up The Faith.'
