"Hope! Hope! and More Hope!!"

Hey guess what?!
Did you know that there is hope in any and every situation and circumstance of life that you face today?! Yup, sure is!! Just as sure as I'm sitting here writing this to you....and I am.....there is hope!!!

This topic is nothing new for me to write about in my Blogs, for it's been shared many times. And so it is that I know I'm being led once again to share a very heartfelt subject.

If I could share anything on this awesome word - HOPE - it would be when things, people, situations, problems, circumstances appear hopeless, God is ALWAYS at work!!!

Often many times all we see and focus on is what is right in front of us....the unchanged. If we could only see the mighty hand of God at work in our lives and the lives of those we love, we would never have reason to doubt. But it is in those times of discouragement and possible doubt that God says "Child, trust me. I'm working. You don't have to see it to believe it." Often, what appears to be ordinary and mundane is God working behind the scenes with his extraordinary power and hope. Many times there will be no indication of the hope that is coming!

God offers hope abundantly- life changing hope - hope that shatters any and all hopelessness! And what God is NOT doing is mingling or diluting your hopelessness with his hope to make it more tolerable! That is not the mighty and all powerful God we know and serve! He is here to shatter hopelessness completely!!

We must resist the questioning of God's promises and reliability to us. Don't let hopelessness take you to a place of being consumed and therefore viewing all things in our lives through hopelessness.

You may ask: Then how do I get hope?
Want a simple answer?
Trust.

Trust in the promises of God that he is ALL that he says he is - - Healer, Comforter, Provider, Rescuer, Restorer, Savior, Protector, Forgiver....and so much more.
Trust simply in a God who knows, who loves, who cares, is in control, and is taking care of YOU (and those you love)....even when you don't see it.

Believe even when there is no sign to believe.  He is going to do in your life what he has promised to do! If you are not sure of what he has promised to do.....go and begin reading the book of Psalms, for it is full of God's promises made especially to and for YOU.

So friend.....what do you do when the things of life appear to be full of hopelessness and no change seems to be in sight? Do you run to the world looking for reasons why and how to overcome it? Or do you choose trust - - trust in an Almighty Loving Heavenly Father who is there to guide you through?

And remember - - When all appears hopeless.....God is ALWAYS at work!!!!
