Hope In God

God has a plan for our lives.  He hastens His word to perform it (Jer. 1:12).  He knows the thoughts that He thinks toward us, thoughts of peace and not of evil that He might give us an expected end (Jer. 29:11). 

• Hope thou in God.  Hope is a future expectation of something good.  Hope thou in His promises which are beyond our present and whatever future we have in our minds. 
• Hope thou in the infallibility of God.  Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath.  That by two immutable things (his promise and the oath) in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us (Heb. 6:17-18).   
• Hope thou in the eternality of His word.  He said so shall my word be (before one jot or tittle pass away heaven and earth shall pass away), that goeth forth out of my mouth.  It shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish what I please and prosper (to rush to succeed, to be profitable) in the thing whereto I send it (Isa. 55:11). 
• Believe (and by believing that He is the son of God, you will have life in His name) in the Word of God and don’t move off of it.  Always look into the word for a promise to stand on while you wait for the manifestation of what God said would surely come to pass.   If Christ atoned for it, it is yours as a son of God.  By faith in the Word of God, it is already yours.  It is finished!

God is attracted to Himself.  His eyes go to and fro throughout the whole earth seeking to show Himself strong to them whose hearts are perfect toward Him (2 Chr. 16:9).  This is a promise fulfilled at the Cross of Jesus Christ where he led captivity captive.  It means He paraded Satan and his demons in a Roman Procession to show that he was now harmless against us.  That in in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us through Christ Jesus (Eph. 2:7). Grace is God's unearned,  undeserved and unmerited favor.  Invest time in the Word, hope in God, and believe in His Son.
