Having Hope

Is your world falling apart? Are the things you were clinging to for stability (stocks, bonds, real estate investments, savings) vanishing before your eyes? Have you wondered what’s going to happen to you and your family?

If you look at the economic circumstances of our day you can certainly see a dismal future. But there is something I can offer you. I can give you hope. That hope is Jesus Christ.

Jesus is God incarnate. He came down to earth, died on the cross for our sins, and rose from the dead to allow us a way to get to Heaven. Since He is the creator of the universe, He can provide for us even when our minds are screaming, “Impossible!” He knows our needs, and if we will just trust Him, He will make Himself real and take care of the necessities of life.

The Bible is full of God’s provision for His people, especially in the midst of difficulties and impossible situations. Jesus said in Matthew 6:31-32, “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.” It also says in Psalm 33:18-19, “Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His mercy, to deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.”

God will provide. Being a Holy and Just God, He cannot deny His Word; therefore, He must and will do as He says. If you trust in Him, He will take care of you in His own way and His own timing. God loves you. He wants to bless you. Trust Him in the hard times and wait to see what amazing things He does.
