Faith Produces Hope

Faith and hope are intricately connected

One’s hope needs to be anchored in someone or something

Or our hope is just magical thinking

When our faith is in the Author of life

The Sovereign God

Who holds all things in His hands

Who holds us in His palms

We have hope

The more we grow in our faith

In our Living God

Who holds our 

Yesterdays

Today

Tomorrow

Forever

In His all powerful

All loving

Hands

We have hope

Not because we wish it

Not because we desire or want it

But because of Him

For He is GOD

The Almighty

The All Knowing

The Always Present 

The Always Loving One

For we know Whom we believe

That He is faithful even when we are faithless

For He is unable to lie

Nor give us false hopes

Nor spout false promises

We know He is able to

Deliver His promises

In spite our circumstances

Trials

Temptations

Testing

Even our doubts

and faithlessness

Or hopelessness

For He is God not a human

That He should lie

Not a human being

That He should change His mind

For when He speaks

There is power

Dunamis Power

Power that of a dynamite

For His word is 

Dynamic

Active

Living

As He is a

Living

Active 

All Powerful God

Because of Whom God is

We have faith

Faith in Him

Faith in His word

We have hope

Hope that does not disappoint

Because the love God has been poured out within our hearts

Through the Holy Spirit Who was given to us

We have hope

Want to grow in hope?

Grow in the knowledge of God 

Grow in the knowledge of His love

Grow in faith

Our hope will grow
