“Hope” is a funny thing because we can hold tight to it one day and allow it to slip the next. Sometimes we are hoping for something but when it doesn’t come to pass in our timing or the way we are expecting, our hope begins to fade.
When doubt begins to creep into our minds, instead of giving up, let’s draw from similar stories in the Bible where hope was a distant possibility, yet God came through. Consider the story of the Israelites when they were hemmed in at the Red Sea with no way of escape, yet God parted the Red Sea saving them from the enemy. Or what about the story of David defeating Goliath against all odds or Daniel being placed in the Lion’s Den without a scratch to be found. There are numerous stories in the Bible where hope seems distant and yet God steps in and makes a way. Don’t grow weary or discouraged when your hope drifts, rather be confident in God’s word:
19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure …” (Hebrews 6: 19a)
This passage encourages us to keep on hoping and trusting God’s promises!
