The Only Hope We Have

The other day I was reading an article about a woman who was in tears when she met one of the Presidential candidates. She even got two hugs from him. In an interview later on, she told the reporter, “He’s the only hope we have!”

How sad! I feel very sorry for this woman who thinks that the only hope she has is in this one man who has yet to fulfill his promises and has never been fully tested. I’d rather put my hope in the Lord.

God is faithful. Unlike what many would have you believe, the Lord hasn’t left the scene despite our tough economic situations. And even if events get worse, He has promised to never leave us or forsake us. God always keeps His word.

Some may ask then, “Why did God allow this economic upheaval to happen?”

Have you ever thought it might be to test our hearts? It was man’s greed that led to the making of bad loans and to the accepting of debt that was beyond people’s means. God didn’t cause the crisis, but just like with any sin, there are consequences to pay. Unfortunately, those consequences are affecting many throughout the world.

So, where is your hope? Is it in man, money, or the Most High? Only One is our true hope. What will you choose?
