Holding on to hope

"Holding on to Hope"

Scripture Reading:
Hebrews 6:19 (HCSB)  We have this hope as an anchor for our lives, safe and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain.

Devotional Reading:

There are a few sadder sights on earth than a man or woman who have lost all hope.  In difficult times, hope can be elusive, but those who place their faith in God's promises never need lose it.  After all, God is good; His love endures forever; he has promised His children the gift of eternal life.  And, God keeps His  promises.  Despite God's promises, despite Christ's love, and despite our countless blessings, we frail human beings can still lose hope from time to time.  When we do, we need the encouragement of Christian friends, the life-changing power of prayer, and the healing truth of God's Holy word.

If you find yourself falling into the spiritual traps of worry and discouragement, seek the healing touch of Jesus Christ and the fellowship of Christian friends.  If you find a friend in need, remind them of the peace that is found in a personal relationship with Christ.  It was Christ who promised, "I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered the world."  This world can be a place of trials and tribulations, but as believers, we are secure.  God has promised us peace, joy, and eternal life.  And of course, God keeps His promises today, tomorrow and forever.

Keep the Son in your eyes,
