HOPELESS TIMES 14 | HOPE IN GOD BIBLE VERSES (2)
1. Hopeless Times
a) The times we live in are so troubled. People losing their jobs, the stock market falls, natural catastrophes, and uncertainty in what the future holds. In today’s economy there is little to hope for the future however God is never caught off guard or by surprise. God knows the future. You are not the only one that has felt that there is no hope. Even Bible heroes had their times when they wanted to give up. Job, Moses, Jonah, Jeremiah, even the powerful prophet in the Old Testament, Elijah.
b) Humans have definitions of hope that are different from God’s. We might hope our team wins the game, or we might hope we don’t lose our jobs or our house. But the biblical definition of hope is not a hope-so but a know-so. Our hope in God is surer than the sun rising in the morning.
Psalms 119:74
"Those who fear You will be glad when they see me,
Because I have hoped in Your word."

There is nothing on this earth more certain than hope in God. He will never leave us nor will He ever forsake us. He is our anchor in the present and for the future.
