It's Day #9 of Designer's Original 30 Day Give Thanks Challenge. And today I am thankful for hope. Hope is the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best. Sometimes we hope our bills get paid; We hope we get that promotion; We hope that we a job; We hope that we lose a few pounds. We hope for a lot things.
The main thing is that we don't give up hope. In stressful, nail-biting, heart-wrenching times, we must put our hope in the Lord. "It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the LORD," (Lamentations 3:26). When you put your hope in the Lord, everything will turn for the best and the way God intended all the long.
In Psalm 71:5, David told God that He is his hope. "For You are my hope, O Lord GOD; [You are] my trust from my youth."
Then He went on to tell God that his hope won't die. It will continue.
"But I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more," (Psalms 71:14).
Regardless of what we are going through, we must never lose sight of hope.
We must always have hope in the name of Jesus.
