Hope

 Tonight I want to talk about Hope before I do, lets pray. The scriptures we are going to look at tonight are Hebrews 11 verse 1, Romans 8 verse 24-25, 1 Peter 1 verse 3, Romans 15 verse 4, Psalm 39 verse 7, 1 Corinthians 13 verse 13, Romans 5 verse 5, Psalm 71 verse 5, Hebrews 10 verse 23, and Titus 2 verse 13. 

In the scriptures we see how God can give us Hope, and let us know that all of our Hope isn't lost.

I know I've shared this song before but I want to share it again. It's by Glendil Griffin and one of His songs says, Do not give up do not lose Faith, for there is a light shining through darkness, do not give up for God’s in control for we placed our lives in the hands of our God, so before you think all hope is lost just run to the cross just run to the cross. When I think of these lyrics, I think of how God will always be there for us and no matter what we have to have Hope, Faith, Love, and Trust in Jesus that He will get us through whatever we go through.

I would like to share a quote with all of you now and the quote I would like to share says this.

There is a God who's never left me
And here in the hurting, You're still with me
You have carried me this far and You won't stop now
Oh, there is a God who sees my sorrow
Catches my tears in a bottle
You're still working even when I can't see how
There is pain, there is broken
There is hurt, but He's the hope I'm standing on

There is a God
Who promises me He has a plan
And I'm protected by His hand
Through flood and fire, hey
There is a God
Who's working all things for my good
Sometimes slower than I think He should
But His ways are higher

So I'm looking forward to the day
when I see the purpose for this pain
Oh, but until I do
I'm choosing to believe

There is a God who's never left me

And here in the hurting, You're still with me

You have carried me this far and You won't stop now

Oh, there is a God who sees my sorrow

Catches my tears in a bottle

You're still working even when I can't see how

There is pain, there is broken

There is hurt, but He's the hope I'm standing on

This is the truth I'm standing on
Even when all my strength is gone
You are faithful forever
And I know You'll never
Let me fall

Right now, I'm choosing to believe
Someday soon, I'll look back and see
All the pain had a purpose
Your plan was perfect all along
This is the truth I'm standing on

Good, I believe You're still good
Even when life's not good
I will not lose this hope

That the God who parts the sea
Promises He's gonna
Make a way for me

Oh, this is the truth I'm standing on
Even when all my strength is gone
You are faithful forever
And I know You'll never
Let me fall

Right now, I'm choosing to believe
Someday soon, I'll look back and see
All the pain had a purpose
Your plan was perfect all along
This is the truth I'm standing on

When we look at these things, we see how God is still with us even if we have sorrow and pain. We see that He will never leave us because we know that there is Hope and why do we know there is Hope? Well, we know there is Hope because God will make a way for us and because He will make a way for us, we don't have to fear and we don't have to worry because God is our provider who will help us through anything and He is our Hope.

Here between the mountains, Deep in the valley of despair, When all I see are shadows, Of every soul who never left, I won't be afraid, No matter come what may I'll say Jesus You're the one who guides my way.

You are my hope, When all else fades God You remain My hope When darkness tries to find a way
Into my heart and soul You are my hope. Even in the canyons Of every fear and every doubt When everything looks hopeless And it seems there's no way out I will trust in You My God and what You say always, You are forever the spark that lights my way. You are my hope When all else fades God You remain

My hope When darkness tries to find a way, Into my heart and soul You are my hope. You're my hope in the battle, You're my hope in the storm, You're my hope in the waves Of the raging flood, You're my hope in the desert, You're my hope in the flames, You're my hope when there's no other Way of escape.

You are my hope, You are my hope, You are my hope, You are my hope, You are my hope.

Here is what I would like to end on tonight and share. The thing I would like to end on and share is a quote. 

The quote says this: ''Don't Lose Hope. When You Are Down To Nothing, God Is Up To Something.''
