Keep Hope Alive

Quiet your heart in His presence and pray; keep hope alive as you long for God to come through for you. Psalms 37:7 TPT

When we feel as though control over our own life is slipping away from us, we have to remember that we are actually not the ones that are in control, ever. God is the one that is in control of everything that is happening. 

No matter what we face- in the midst of all our sorrows and pain, God is in control. His love surrounds us no matter what we may be going through.

The Christian life is all about FAITH.  

Hebrews 11:1-3 NET  Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, being convinced of what we do not see. For by it the people of old received God’s commendation. By faith we understand that the worlds were set in order at God’s command, so that the visible has its origin in the invisible.

I love this verse because it always brings me comfort when I am in the midst of a season where I'm finding it difficult to hold on. When God has called us to do something, we must believe and act on it. I believe that God delights in those who will follow the call He's placed in the heart, and risk the comfort of everyday life for the Kingdom's sake.  Risk the storm. 

The easiest thing for us to do is doubt. As an emotionally driven people, we often find ourselves in peaks and valleys, caught between hope and despair. It seems as if the journey of life is a constant rollercoaster of highs and lows and even when we want to move forward with confidence, our flesh continuously wants to resort to the comfort of what we can see, feel, and physically grasp.

God is closer to us than we know, remember, God is the one that is in control of everything.
