Faith, Hope, Love

Faith, Hope, Love

 Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
If you live in fear of what people think of you speak this verse over yourself daily. To remind you of The Lord’s thoughts about you are. You really don’t know what other people think about you so stop stressing about that because God has clearly told you exactly what He thinks about you.
Hope isn’t wishing for something. Hope is an expectation for what God’s already done and provided for you. Hope is directly connected to faith and love. You can’t truly have one of these without the other two. All three start with God and end with God and all the way in between are with God.
Really you can’t know or really experience true faith, true hope or true love apart from God. What the world has apart from God that it calls faith, hope or love is just cheap, worthless imitations.

Do we have big enough expectations?

  Do we have big enough expectations?   How do you define hope?  Do you define it as most of the world has come to define it which is basically wishing?  Actually, hope is to have an expectation for something or that something will happen and this is especially true in a Biblical context.  Take a look at the following verses and every time you read hope say expectation.     Romans 15:4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.    Romans 15:12-13 And again, Isaiah says: “There shall be a root of Jesse; And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, In Him the Gentiles shall hope.”  13  Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.   Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evi...
