Hi Folks,
Our devotional topic for this week is "Hope."
I was watching our livestream church service 2 weeks ago and our pastor was commenting on how the world desperately lacks hope right now. In many ways, our world is in a very hopeless state.
I've read/watched articles that in the early months of the pandemic, young teens were committing suicide as they felt their lives were homeless after losing their school routine, friends, sports and much of their life.
Folks who had always had a job and home are now homeless, nurses are quitting their jobs because they cannot take the grueling toil of their workload, hours, and the death they see all around them. Our country is more divided than it ever has been. We are in a hopeless state.
And yet....for those who have trusted Jesus Christ as their Lord (Master of their lives) and Savior (rescuer), they have a hope in Someone who will never leave or forsake them (Deuteronomy 31:6, Hebrews 13:5), who promises to provide for all their needs according to His riches (Philippians 4:19), who promises they are His children through faith in Him (Galatians 3:26), that nothing will separate them from His love (Romans 8:35-39). That is Someone that is reliable, solid and Hopeful!
Below are 3 devots. that I found very hopeful (I esp. loved the first 2) that I pray will really encourage you this week and I've included a powerful song on hope (the principles are taken from many Scriptures and Biblical truths).
I pray you have a very blessed week!
