HOPE...For the Promises of GodSample
HOPE BEYOND THE MOUNTAIN
The definition of hope is to cherish a desire with anticipation or to want something to happen or to be true. Although setbacks and disappointments have the potential to put a damper on hope, it does not have the POWER to stop God's plans for us. Hope is the fuel that keeps us pressing toward the mark. Hope is the anchor in the storm that breathes life into expectation. Our inner awareness ("our Knower") tells us that weeping may endure for a night, but joy is not as far-fetched as we think.
Shifting your gaze beyond the mountains in your life can indeed breed hope. Life is full of challenges and obstacles, often resembling massive mountains blocking our path. These mountains can be anything from personal struggles, setbacks, and failures to more significant issues or crises. Hope is the expectancy that pulls us toward the promises of God... regardless of the unforeseen and unpleasant circumstances we might face. Despite this, we can remain optimistic and overcome challenges by changing our perspective.
I wholly believe that God has unimaginable plans for us on the other side of whatever mountain we face! We must remember the truth of Jeremiah 29:11... even in the darkest times. God's plans to prosper us, giving us hope and a future remain. So, believe Him… stand firm in faith, and don't give up on your path to your destined purpose. There is an exceeding, abundant blessing on the other side of the mountain.
Remember... The redemptive blood of Jesus is the driving force behind our pursuit of victory and gives us the confidence to keep running toward it. We are running as winners… with the Expectation of possessing every promise provided to us as sons and daughters of the King. Every valley gives us a unique invitation to trust the hand and heart of God. Our Heavenly Father will not shortchange us. Set your gaze beyond the mountain; that is where your hope comes from. What's ahead of you is far greater than what's behind you.
