Hopeful instead of fearful, is it possible?, now of course there are those who are naturally optimistic , to them the glass appears to be always half full. But I am sure even the optimistic, has moments when despair creeps in. We read how the prophet Jeremiah, wrote a letter to his fellow Israelites who were being held captive in the Babylon. If we turn to Psalm 137 we see what they were experiencing and how they felt, their captors tormented them, mocked them ,and they lamented over their situation, they said how can we sing the Lords song in a strange land?. So here is the word of the Lord through his servant Jeremiah,( chap 29 v 11). ''For I know the thoughts I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope''. Dear child of God , the times are dark, your situation may seem hopeless, lift your eyes up to the God who says ,that you have a future and a hope.
May the God of hope, fill you with all joy
and peace, as you trust in Him, so that you
may overflow with hope by the power of
of the Holy Spirit.
( Romans 15 v 13 )
