Hope is more than a feeling…

Happy Monday! What does hope mean to you? I admit I struggle with keeping my hope up when all around us it feels like things are falling apart.

Just when you think you have it all together, something comes along and rocks you to the core. How do we continue to have hope when we are going through the most terrible circumstances?

When we plant a garden, we spend time tilling the soil, preparing the seeds, planting the seeds, and watering the seeds. We get up everyday in expectation that something will start to grow from all of our hard work. We have hope!

What is it about people who are happy all of the time? They are filled with hope!

Hope is more than a feeling!

Romans 5:2 says, “By whom we also have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand and rejoice in the hope of the Glory of God.”

Romans 12:2 says, “rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;”

Both of these scriptures mention being joyful in hope. We can be joyful because there is hope for tomorrow. I am learning to take one day at a time!

My joy is not in my circumstances. My joy is in knowing God!

Hope is based on the evidence of what God has done in the past.

Get your hopes up! Make hope a daily habit!
