Job 11:18 NLT
Having hope will give you courage. You will be protected and will rest in safety.
One of the greatest things that our faith does for us is give us hope when the wold seems to be crashing around us us. The struggle is real.
Hope and courage are linked in so many ways. They are family members. Each is a characteristic of people who care about the things of God, for other and caring too for themselves. That is why God builds His people. God has used struggles through our lives to guide us give us hope and courage in this adventure called life.
Hope reminds us that there is more to life than the struggle. Courage helps us press on. It may not seem that simply, but it seems to make sense.
Psalm 31:24 NLT
So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the Lord!
That is a command. Not one of those like the sign that says “don’t walk on the grass”. But one that says if you choose this thing that other thing will happen. Choose to be strong and your hope will grow. Choose to see God in the middle of your struggle, and hope and courage are yours
That is my choice today. Even when the struggle comes I will be strong in the Lord. I will hope in the Lord.
Hebrews 3:6 NLT
But Christ, as the Son, is in charge of God’s entire house. And we are God’s house, if we keep our courage and remain confident in our hope in Christ.
This week we are taking a look at how we deal with the struggles that come in to our lives. There are spiritual struggles we can not see, as we discussed Monday, and there are physical struggles we all face. We need hope in the middle of the struggle.
