GROWING HOPE! By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com
HOPE: GOD’S PROMISE, is an optimistic state of mind, YET HOPE IS MORE THAN WISH OR OPTIMISTIC ATTITUDES, wish to strengthen a desire, DESIRE WITH EXPECTATION, feeling of desire that something will happen, a feeling of trust…
In difficult times we need hope, a key to getting better, hope is the light in the tunnel.
HOPE IS A ROPE… the two spies at Rahab’s house? The rope that extended Paul’s ministry.
Job 11:18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
Hebrews 6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Proverbs 10:28 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
Romans 4:18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
Romans 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Romans 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
2 Corinthians 3:12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: 13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: 14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
DO YOU HAVE HOPE? HOW DO WE SUSTAIN HOPE IN DIFFICULT TIMES? DO YOU GIVE HOPE?
