My Hope Is In You Lord!

It is easy to get caught up in the political frenzy of this candidate and that one, and take our thoughts off of our one true source of hope. In the bible it reminds us that we will have troubles in this life, but do not fear, I have overcome the world.

John 16:33 "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4 "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."

Whether it is a physical diagnosis, a monetary set back, or election year, life can and will consume us if we are not vigilant in resting in God's promises.

The bible calls us to put on the whole armor of God. Ephesians 6: 11-12 "Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

We are in a spiritual warfare, whether we understand it or not. Our weapons are not carnal. The good news is we do not have to fear what man can do to us. Our faith and hope is in the Creator of the universe, who loves you more than you can imagine!

Surrender your thoughts, hopes, dreams and yes fears to him today, for he cares for you, and find a peace that passes understanding...
