February 20 HOPE in GOD Psalm 43:5
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.” (Psalm 43:5)
Just recently, I had the privilege to counsel with a young man that is experiencing a “Ride” on the discouragement and depression train of life! He shared his difficult journey as he described his descending down the steep slope of hopelessness! The Psalmist declares that our Hope is in God, and I attempted to highlight the solution to his deep depression! I asked this amazing young man if he believed that God was powerful enough to change his circumstances and that God could, and would, use the present situations to bring about positive results for his life. God has provided HOPE through HIS Son JESUS, and JESUS has come to provide for us the HOPE for LIVING, and the POWER to OVERCOME! Dear Friends, when the darkness of life closes in around you, and the storms of life complicate your living, DON’T GIVE UP! God has promised that the storm will pass, and the Sun will Shine again! Do You Believe? Remember, your FAITH will give birth to HOPE, and His HOPE will push back the Darkness and HIS LOVE will provide the sustaining HOPE that we need to experience HIS HOPE, PEACE & JOY! HE PROMISED – I BELIEVE – and I STAND READY TO RECEIVE! Stay Strong, Stay Focused … THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
