Hope As The Foundation

So I decided it's time to get off the pity train and get back into reading and doing my devotional. I'm struggling but I know it's something I need to do. Just bear with me and show me grace as I navigate through my recent hurt and come to see God in my storm again. Let's put on our God vision goggles and keep pressing on.         

Verse of the Day

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;    Hebrews 6:19

Meditation

No matter what life throws at us, we can remain unshakable if we have hope in God and His word. Hope is the foundation of our faith, and it gives us the strength to keep going even in difficult times. We can't be promised that everything will be perfect, but if we stay positive and trust in Christ, we will see God's power at work. Work hard, pray often, and never lose hope- you will be blessed.

Prayer

Lord, we trust in You and Your power to do great things in our lives. We cling to the hope that difficult times will pass, and that You will give us the strength to endure. We know that with You, all things are possible. We pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.

Personal Reflection

We all go through hell every now and again in this lifetime on earth. Earth is not our forever though. All the battles and struggles we face here will not be in Heaven. It may look like you were dealt a terrible hand in life sometimes but have hope in your future with Jesus. Look forward to Heaven and being with your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Lately there hasn't been much hope in my life. My marriage seems to keep hitting a snag and taking a blow with the evil in this world. I've been too focused on other things and worrying about the things I can't control. I don't know why as humans we do that. We think we can do something about it and we can fix everything if we just do this or that. We end up driving ourselves insane instead of just bringing all of our worries and hurt to God. When that marriage looks like it has no hope we forget that we should have been putting our hope in Jesus. Trusting Jesus with all of it. I know God is real and Jesus is real but sometimes in our lives we forget to think about that. Sometimes we can only see how big the problem is in front of us and forget how big our God is and all that He is capable of. Trust is a hard thing for me. I've been burned alot in life and I carry some pretty big scars. I do not know what God is going to do in my marriage but I know I have to choose to trust Him no matter what the outcome is. No matter how hopeless it looks you will never choose wrong by trusting Jesus. What He has for you is so much more than anything you could ever hope for yourself. Let's pray for one another to have hope and be consistent in staying rooted in the word of God and trusting Him to take care of everything in our lives.
