Topic: Faith And Hope

Psalm 39:7 "But now, lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you." (NIV)

When things go bad, when everything comes unglued and we are facing incredible adversity, our adversity can make it seem as if we are sitting in darkness. In adversity, we can lose hope. In adversity, we do not know where to look for hope because we cannot see anything in our life or see anything in our future giving us hope. A resounding faith in God, a living faith in God, an active faith in God, and a positive faith in a positive God gives us hope. Our faith in God gives us the Light at the end of the tunnel. Our living faith tells us our suffering is only temporary. Relatively speaking, in the span of all the time of the past, and in the span of all the time to exist in the future, our suffering on this earth lasts only a fraction of a second. Christian's believe beyond any doubt we will spend eternity in heaven where there is no suffering, no pain, and no adversity…all while we live in God's bliss of love where time is no more. Our faith in God and our belief in His eternity for us indeed make us stronger on the inside. Our faith in God makes us full of hope even when our outside circumstances look hopeless.
