- At the start of a new year, many people make resolutions – resolutions are basically goals we will work towards and achieve by the end of the year. Honestly, these goals usually don’t last more than a month, even if we keep them that long. Why do we make these kinds of goals?
- We make all kinds of goals, hoping that they will make us happy or make our lives better in some way. But what if this year we made the goal of hoping in God our big goal? It is a goal that we can achieve and will see many blessings from! After all, God is the only one who can truly make us happy, and placing our hope in Him will always make our lives better.
- This year –
through trials and triumphs – hope in God.
Through tears and smiles – hope in God.
Through rain and sunshine – hope in God.
In times of scarcity and in times of abundance – hope in God.
In times of sickness and in times of health – hope in God.
Through sorrow and joy – hope in God. - “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Moreover, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance; and endurance produces character; and character, hope; and hope does not disappoint us, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” Romans 5:1-5
- No matter where you placed your hope last year or the years before, there is still time to put your hope where it should be – in the One who made you and made a way for you to be with Him. Are you ready to put your hope in God?
- “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13 .
