Finding Hope When All is Lost

Hope! Spring is the in the air. The winter is behind us. The flowers are budding. Trees are turning green. Soon the fields around the church will be filled with activity as farmers begin plant their crops.

Hope! Politicians promise hope to win elections. Cubs fans hope that this year will be the year. Many of us hope for the best, but plan for the worse.

Hope! No doubt this has been a difficult year for many. You may be reading this having recently lost a job. Your finances might be in disarray. Maybe as you read this as you are going through a difficult divorce or separation. Maybe you are hung up on an addiction that you just cannot overcome. Maybe you are trying to reach out to your children, but they keep going down a difficult, dead end road.

Hope! Jesus Christ is risen! Jesus lives! By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. 1 Corinthians 6:14 There is hope in Christ. And this hope is not just wishful thinking. It is certain hope. It is confident hope. God’s promises are as sure and as certain as we will ever find.

Hope!
But those who hope in the LORD 

will renew their strength. 

They will soar on wings like eagles; 

they will run and not grow weary, 

they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31
