HOPE and FAITH
…The Keys To a Victorious Life!!!
Ever noticed how some of the people around you today are living without hope. Look at them; they smile, but their eyes are dead. They talk, but the music has left their voice. They’re like mannequins: all dressed up and going nowhere because they feel hopeless. But as a child of the Creator, you don’t have to live that way. ‘Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for the Creator can be trusted to keep His promise.’ Our hope isn’t luck, like winning the lottery. No, it’s confidence that the Almighty will do what He said. This is evident in the story told about King David. He had every reason to lose hope. After Samuel anointed him to be Israel’s next king, he had to wait for seven years while a paranoid ruler occupied the throne. He had to flee for his life and hide in caves, surrounded by enemies. He saw Israel devastated, his friends killed and his family taken captive. But he never wavered or threw in the towel. Faced with circumstances that would wipe many of us out, he sang, ‘…My hope is in You.’ Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.’ In other words, ‘It’s going to get better!’ You can’t lose with an attitude like that. David became king because he never lost confidence in the promises of the Almighty. They kept him focused; they kept him on top of the circumstances; they kept him going! What has the Creator promised you? Stand on His Word and declare, ‘If you promised it, I believe it, and that settles it!’
Are You Giving Life to Your Faith?
If we aren’t doing something that shows that we believe the Creator, then our faith is dead. Dead faith won’t accomplish anything. We have to give life to our faith by putting actions behind it. It doesn’t have to be anything big, just something that shows your faith in the Almighty.
For example, I know people who are down and discouraged. They pray to the Creator, “Please get me out of this discouragement. Give me my joy back. Give me a new beginning.” And yes, prayer is important, but it’s only part of the process. What really causes the Almighty to act is when you do something about it—you get back up, dust yourself off, and say, “You know what? I’m not going to stay down. This is the day the Creator has made! I am going to be happy and have a great day.” That’s putting action behind your faith.
I encourage you today to let your actions give life to your faith. Show the world that you trust the Creator’s Word. As you do, you’ll give life to your faith and step into new levels of His victory and blessing in every area of your life!
