\nRomans 15:13 \u00a0 <\/span><\/b>Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.<\/i><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Isaiah 55:12<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cFor you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace;<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>John 14:1<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u201cLet not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>John 14:27<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Romans 5:5<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Joel 3:16<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0The LORD roars from Zion, and utters his voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth quake. But the LORD is a refuge to his people<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Thanks to technology, we see the joy and celebrations of life that occur all over the world, but we also see the heartbreak and despair. \u00a0It is easy to be discouraged and disheartened by what we hear and see and experience. Wars, weather-related disasters, drought, famine, earthquakes, and not to mention cultural and societal moral decline. Abortion is defined as reproductive rights. Homosexuality and transgenderism is honored, celebrated, and promoted as an alternative lifestyle. Attempts to ban Christianity from schools and government are common.\u00a0 <\/span>Open hatred for God and things of God are common. How is a person to make sense of what is going on? Where is a person to find HOPE? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
We have an anchor and it doesn\u2019t matter how hard the storms or currents rage. God is all-powerful and all-knowing and ever-present.\u00a0 <\/span>As disheartening and troublesome as life can be at times, HOPE in God never disappoints. Though our journey through trials may seem long and unbearable, hope in God gives us a peace that passes all understanding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Do not despair, worry, or fear what is going on in the world but rather keep your eyes focused on Jesus Christ and the word of God. There is nothing in this world that can remove the joy from a heart and mind that is fixed on Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
