Hope Gives Courage...

Have you ever wondered how some people seem to be able to keep on keeping on in spite of the struggles they are going through?

If you would ask the average person on the street this question, "How do you keep going when so many obstacles in their life keep holding them down?" Most would say, " What choice do I have?" That's life!

But, I'm here to tell you, you do have a choice. You can say, What choice do I have? Or you can look to the one that gives you a choice.

Even though I have been through probably more struggles than the adverage person.....

I found that with Hope I gained more and more courage.

What is courage? When you look to the Bible scriptures you see courage demonstrated in several Bible figures. From Noah, to the three Hebrew boys,.

Can you inagine Noah preaching that God is going to flood the earth for 100 years, and it had never rained at this point, no one would listen? That takes courage.

And the three Hebrew boys, saying to the king, " we will not bow to you king, when we bow to our Creater God only". Daniel 3:1-30 They stated God would save them from the firey furnance, I love this part: But even if He doesn't, we still will not bow to the kings idol.

That's because they had the hope that God would be their source and that gave them courage to go on. I have always loved the Bible scripture in Hebrews chapter 11:1

It defines " now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, KJV NKJV To me this is acting as a conviction of God's promise despite lack of physical evidence. That gives me courage to to keep my hope alive.

Courage is learned by seeing God work over and over in your life. With that confidence in hope you have courage to go on.

Jesus is your hope..... Jesus loves you. He is waiting for you to turn to Him.

For the King and His Kingdom

People Need the Lord, Is that You?
