Problems, hard circumstances, difficult and pain-filled afflictions are realities in many lives.
Perhaps you are in such a place in your life.

Thinking about the world we live in, there are people who want to radically change, and get rid of: Christian thought, Christian morals, Christian beliefs.

In the past, historically, when this has happened – it hasn’t!  God is always at work.  Do we live in a perfect world?  No way!  Are we perfect, even as Christians?  No way!  This is another reason why we need Jesus!

What do believers, followers of Jesus have, that those whom are without Jesus in their lives do not have?

We have HOPE.  Our hope is in the living God, God our Savior.  Hope in God’s grace, His favor which we cannot buy or earn.  Hope in God’s mercy, His compassions at work in our lives.
The LORD God provides His mercy seat, where His presence is for all believers. This is where we will find His grace, His compassion for us.  Faith in His Son, the Lord Jesus, gives us real hope, not hopeful hope.

When troubles come, afflictions, and enforced wanderings, the wormwood and bitterness of our circumstances.  What are we to remember?  Lamentations 3:19

REMEMBER: our souls – our minds, our emotions and our wills – we are to still bow before God our Savior.  Lamentations 3:20

Hope – remember!
God is the living God.

God is worthy of worship – no matter your circumstances, no matter where you are, no matter your emotions – God is still your hope! Lamentations 3:21

~ Take it to heart ~

You have hope, Jesus’ follower.  It is in God your Savior.  Can you say, He is my God, He is my Savior, He is my sure hope – Today?!

“O Israel (insert your name here), hope in the LORD,
For with the LORD there is lovingkindness,
And with Him is abundant redemption.”
(NASB) Psalm 130:7

God provides forgiveness for you and redeemed you!
There is HOPE ~ at God’s mercy seat.
