All of My Hope

With hope, you can do almost anything; without it, you are powerless. Hope
is the confident assurance that all will work out because God is with you.

All of My Hope

"Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart,
All you who hope in the Lord."

(Psalm 31:24)

I love the word "hope". With hope, you can do almost anything; without it, you are powerless. Hope is the confident assurance that all will work out because God is with you. I see in the eyes of so many a sense of despair and hopelessness. To see the people in Haiti and Afghanistan, for example, is to look into the eyes of grave fear with no hope. But God. He is the giver of hope, and the primary means of Him dispensing hope in huge quantities is by using you and me. That's right; you and me and the rest of God's people are the answer. God uses His people to be salt, light, and hope in a world in desperate need of Him.

Whenever I get a song in my heart, I just have to share it with others. Right now, I keep hearing the lyrics, "All of my hope is in the name of Jesus." The title of the song is "God, Turn It Around" by Jon Reddick. Here are some of the lyrics:

All of my hope
Is in the name
The name of Jesus
Breakthrough will come
Come in the name
The name of Jesus
I'm praying God come
And turn this thing around, oh yes
God, turn it around
God, turn it around
God, turn it around

How full is your hope tank today? If you could gauge your hope on a scale of 1 to 10, what number would it be? It is so easy to become filled with fear and dread when things do not turn out well or you receive terrible news. I get it, and unfortunately, sometimes my first reaction in times like this is not to turn to the God of hope but to turn inward and become fearful and sometimes even angry. But God has a better way! His is the way of hope and peace. Proverbs 3:17 states, "Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace." Solomon is writing about the wisdom and knowledge of God and refers to these in the feminine pronoun "her". Are you enjoying a life filled with pleasantness and peace, even in the midst of difficult days?

How Hopeful are you? As sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, so God will bring you hope and peace during your current despair. He will indeed turn it around because all our hope is in the name of Jesus. Breakthrough is coming!
