Hoping for...?

"For I know the plans that I have for you declares the Lord. They are plans to give you hope and a good future" - Jeremiah 29:11

Hope is one of the fruits of the spirits and is very well linked to faith. The Bible says in Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see" Hoping for something is faith. Believing that it will happen. David in the Bible had hope that he would kill Goliath. He knew would God's help that his hope would give him strength. An Oxford Dictionary definition of hope is:
feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen:
he looked through her belongings in the hope of coming across some information
[COUNT NOUN]: I had high hopes of making the Olympic team

Hope is having faith and believing for something. Hope, unkowningly, gives us strength to keep on pursuing what we hope for. Hope keeps us strong when we want it to. When it seems hopeless, God’s messages about our future hope can deeply encourage us. There are plenty of bible verses that conclude God's type of hope can encourage us. Jesus gave us hope, faith and life for a reason!

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life.

Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...

What is the wisdom of the world to God? FOOLISHNESS!

“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.” 1 Corinthians 3:19 KJV http://bible.com/1/1co.3.19.kjv You see, for new born believers, it takes a while for the fact that they cannot be loved by or be part of the world. Unfortunately, this is usually found out after devastating consequences. In this chapter of 1 Corinthians, verse 19, Paul talks about the Wisdom of God being foolishness to the world. This portrays the relationship between a Christian and the world. THEIR SHOULD'NT BE ONE. No-one can sit on the fence. For those of you trying, you still will belong to the darkness. Until you take a step of faith to reach the light, you and your darkness remain. After becoming a Christian, you are made holy. But maintenance and discipline are needed to keep the holiness and remain pure. People begin to defile this holiness by continuing and re-doing their past life! Don't follow them! Remain pure!  ...
