No Problem Too Big Or Too Small

Hope is not just wishful thinking. Hope is an assurance that our King has ultimately won the raging battle. When we have nothing else to rely on, our hope in God is what connects us to what is true.

Faith requires us to relinquish our fears, doubts, and worries into the hands of God, like a child who says, “I will trust my mama and daddy because I know they are good and reliable.” So we say, “I will give this difficulty into His hands because I know He is good and loving and reliable.”

Hope gives us the strength to take on our future. No circumstance, no problem, no issue, no devastation is too large or too difficult for God to take on. However, we have to choose this hope. We must receive it. Sometimes, life can beat us down and make us feel absolutely defeated. But when we choose to carry the hope God has given us, we are able to overcome anything.

Our hope rests in God’s character and ability to see us through. In Him who answers prayer. In Him who is always good. In Him who has overcome the world. In Him who has forgiven every sin. In Him who will never leave us or forsake us. We can leave our issues in the file drawer of heaven and know that He has the ability to work them out and to cause “all things to work together for good to those who love God” (Romans 8:28, NASB).

His Promises

We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it. But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)

Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation.
