PERSPECTIVES FROM DAVID’S
7 SECRETS
Chapter Three “Live in the
Moment” p.53
HOPE LIVES
Were your hopes ever
crushed? Sometimes our hopes are stopped
cold. Sometimes they are just diverted
into some kind of detour that seems to go nowhere that we wanted to go at all. But, if your life is centered on the Lord and
doing what He wants you to do, then chances are, He is behind the crush! What you hoped for and lost could get even
better just ahead.
Wishing on a star is
romantic, but putting your hopes and trust in the Lord makes wishes and hopes
come true. HOPE lives in us. It is in our nature. We HOPE things will get
better. We HOPE for good health, and
wealth, and happiness, and all kinds of things.
But, what if your hopes get lost and instead of HOPE you face some kind
of heartache or suffering?
Paul says in Romans 5:3-5,
“We also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces
perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, HOPE. And HOPE does not disappoint us, because God
has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given
us.”
When you feel that all HOPE
is lost, take heart in the fact that the Bible holds the secret to bringing
back your HOPE.
“For everything that was
written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the
encouragement of the Scriptures we might have HOPE.” Rom. 15:4
David teaches us that
while we may feel lost in our many troubles, like he always was, that we should
take his advice and chill. He says in
Psalm 62:5, “Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my HOPE comes from Him.” So…
TAKE HEART,
THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE!
