Where Is Your Hope?

During times of uncertainty, joblessness, illness, financial struggles and the likes, where is your hope? Is it in temporal things that are fleeting, or is it in an unfailing God that says, "Where is your faith"? Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Trust, faith and hope, all easy to say, but what does our heart and our actions say about our beliefs? Do our lives reflect our trust in God, when things are bad and there is no way out?

Are you looking for God to open doors for you, as you continue to walk in faith? "The substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen".  Jeremiah 29:11. God's ways are higher than our ways and he has bigger plans for you and me than we can imagine.

Are you faced with uncertainty today about what tomorrow holds, where the finances are coming from, how the bills are going to be paid, etc.? My hope is to encourage you to look up, where your only true hope comes from, maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 33:20,"We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield."
