OUR CONFIDENT HOPE

” REJOICE IN OUR CONFIDENT HOPE. BE PATIENT IN TROUBLE, AND KEEP ON PRAYING. ” ROMANS 12:12

I talk a lot about faith. Faith in Christ is the centerpiece and the foundation of our hope in our future of everlasting life. As we continue to read and meditate in God’s Word and we continue to absorb his loving and gracious promises then our faith in him continues to grow stronger and stronger. As our faith continues to grow so does our confidence in him. We are to be happy and rejoice in this confident hope. When we confront troubles, anxieties and struggles we are to be patient. We are to be persistent in our prayer life. Many times God does not answer our prayers as quickly as we would like or with the results we want to see. However, we are to stay close to him and never let go of the hope he has given us. No matter the results or the timing of his answers we must remember that all things turn out for the good of those who love the Lord. We must have a confident faith and a prayer life that never gives up. We must cling to Jesus and never let go. We must hang on and enjoy the ride. We must rejoice and praise the Lord all of the way. He is our strength and our peace of mind. He is our hope! We are to rejoice in Him! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
