HOPE:The Way to look ahead and stay ahead in life

A song says; my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus and His righteousness. That is the hope people need in their life. John Bunyan stated that, " Hope is never ill when faith is well". Faith: Not wavering at the promise of God, but being fully convinced that what He has promied He is able to perform- Romans 4:20-21. Also, The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen-Heb. 11:1. Another song says that , Faith, Hope ,and Charity is the way to live succesfully. Good advice to any person looking for substance in their life. As a Christain we should know that living our life based on Christ's example gives us hope not only of God's promises in this life, but hope and an assurance of eternal life. HALLEUIAH, meaning: Hail to God the Creator, and to Jehovah, the Redeemer.
Thomas A Kempis, in the Imitation of Christ. . . In The, therefore, O Lord God, I put all my hope..... For many friends shall not profit, nor strong helpers be able to succor, nor prudent counselors to give a useful answer, nor the books of the learned to console, nor any precious substance to deliver, nor any secret and beautiful place to give shelter, if Thou Thyself do not assist, help, strengthen, comfort, instruct, keep in safety. . . to hope in Thee above all things is the strongest solace of Thy servants.
In Him we live and move and have our being. Acts 17:28

May the Lord bless the and keep the is my heart felt prayer for you:

Food for thought....Martin Luther said,"Everything that is done in the earth is done by hope".

these difficult times require us to continue to hope and believe in God's promises:

Where would we be without the hope of eternal life, peace, and comfort with Jesus Christ for eternity? Another song that we sing says "I never lost my hope". Without it we have no reason to go on.
