The God of Hope

By Pastor Bob Lauver

There are times that we walk through valleys in our life, times of confusion, the unknown and times where there seem to be no answers nor help. Romans 15:13 says, "May the God of hope fill you with joy and peace, as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. God is a God of Hope. "God is the only one who can make the valley of trouble a door of hope."

Yes, we serve a God of hope. There is nothing too large for Him. Someone has said, "Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God."

Let me give you two verses from God's Word to help you build your faith and hope.

2 Corinthians 4:18 - Keep your eyes on the greatness of God, and not on the immediate problem that you have.

Isaiah 26:3 - Keep your mind on God, His promises, His love for you, His miracle working power and how He has helped people in the past. He has not changed.

There is Hope for you in Christ Jesus. He wants to be your Savior, your Lord and your Hope and Help. Turn to Him now in prayer, receive Him, He is your help.
