Hope Light
Psalm 30:5 KJV For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Romans 15:7-13 NIV Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written: “Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing the praises of your name.”[b] Again, it says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”[c] And again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; let all the peoples extol him.”[d] And again, Isaiah says, “The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; in him the Gentiles will hope.”[e] May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

// It’s not easy to see God’s side of your problem. He sees the END; you see the BEGINNING. He sees the TRUTH; you see the FACTS.

It’s too bad that so many things we have worried about were already worked out in God’s plan.

Try These Tips To Revive Your Hope When All Seems Lost:

  1. God has a plan that is working behind the scenes.

“All of the pain that was happening to me seemed random and chaotic, like these gold threads,” she said. Then, she turned the cloth around. On the other side was embroidered a beautiful gold crown. “This was how God was seeing my circumstances all the time.” Corrie Ten Boom

  1. When I see nothing changing, it doesn’t mean God is not working. “Behind the scenes” there are dynamics happening you can’t see.
    Daniel 10:13-14 MSG “‘Relax, Daniel,’ he continued, ‘don’t be afraid. From the moment you decided to humble yourself to receive understanding, your prayer was heard, and I set out to come to you. But I was waylaid by the angel-prince of the kingdom of Persia and was delayed for a good three weeks. But then Michael, one of the chief angel-princes, intervened to help me. I left him there with the prince of the kingdom of Persia. And now I’m here to help you… Daniel waited and fasted for 21 days for an answer to prayer. When the angel finally appeared to him, he informed him that he had been detained for 21 days in battle with a spiritual principality over Persia.

Jesus said we ought to “Pray and not give up.” Luke 18:1

  1. Appearances may have brought me to the wrong conclusions.

Don’t put stock only in what people others say about your problem. Keep your eyes on God’s promises, even when what you see seems to prove the opposite.

“A lie believed as truth will effect you as if it was truth”

  1. The joy of the story’s ending will be worth all the pain of the story’s beginning. Romans 8:28 NIV And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose.

The Bible is full of amazing “endings” to horrible “beginnings.” It seems that God specializes in helping hopeless people so that He will receive more glory!

Psalm 30:11-12 NIV You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. Lord my God, I will praise you forever.

You may be a prime candidate for God’s glory in “His-story.”

**THE STORY IS NOT OVER. IN FACT, IT’S NOT OVER UNTIL YOU WIN. **
