Without Hope, There Is No Future…

I’ve always said you can’t give what you don’t possess. This applies to hope as well. Without God, there is no hope. What future do we have without our Creator? It’s like living on death row. What would you have to look forward to? It’s hope that anchors our soul. It’s hope that gives us a future. It’s hope that paints a picture that we see ourselves living in. How can you paint a future to someone without hope. How can you help someone struggling without giving them something to look forward to, that has relief? You can’t. The reason joy is such a part of the believer’s life is because it contains hope. Hope is what gets us through the tough, trying times. Without hope there is nothing to make joy last. It’s that simple. I’ve heard it said, you can live 40 days without food, 3 days without water, and three minutes without air, but you can’t live 3 seconds without HOPE. We need God, for without Him, we are hopeless.

13 I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in Him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
