Happy Monday! There is a chill in the air. I love the Fall season. I believe new seasons bring hope. We all need a little hope right now!
These times require us to focus on God, not on the chaos. The Psalmist was discouraged in Psalm 43:5 says, “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.”
Thus, we can get easily discouraged by all of the chaos in the world.
I believe that Jesus wants us to be encouraged today. Staying encouraged means having hope.
Psalm 42:5, “Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become restless and disturbed with me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall again praise Him.”
We need a little hope right now.
Hope produces joy, song, and faith.
Don’t give up on hope.

Happy Monday! Friends, are you feeling a little discouraged today? We face so many giants in our lives. Hope is something we desperately need today!
In Psalm 42:5, the psalmist is discouraged. “Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become restless and disturbed within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall again praise Him. For the help of His presence.” It is so easy to get discouraged by the chaos in the world.
Three things we find in this verse the Psalmist did. First, he asked, “why he was in despair?” Second, then he instructed his soul to “hope in God.” Third, he declared that he will “again praise Him.”
Discouragement destroys hope! Without hope, we give up which is what the Devil wants us to do.
What kind of thoughts do you have? Do your thoughts and words sound like these? I am not going to make it. I am ready to give up.
What are you thinking about? Have a little talk with yourself today! Hope is something we desperately need today!
God is our hope! He will never let us down. It may seem like things are falling apart but God has everything in control.
Psalm 42:11 tells us, “…Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him.”
Take hold of hope and don’t let it go!

Happy Monday! Wow, here we are in May and Summer is almost here. I am ready for the sun. Today I am talking about hope which is more than a four-letter word.
We all go through tough times! In fact many times, we go through storms that was not in the forecast.
However, if we get up each morning thinking our day will be partly cloudy with a chance of rain, that is what we will get. Expectations and hope go a long way.
Otherwise, when we hope, it puts joy in our heart. Every day is a new day!
Deuteronomy 31:6 states, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Hope is more than a four-letter word! It motivates and encourages us to keep moving forward even when we don’t feel like it.
Your first thought in the morning can determine the rest of your day. So why not try something new and radical.
Expect something good to happen!
Psalms 27:14 says, “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”
