DON’T DESPAIR…….HOPE
HOPE
Have to focus on God and His Word
nOthing or no one else can see me through
resting in this dwelling Place
HE‘s more than enough
“My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope and expectation are from Him.
He only is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be moved.
With God rests my salvation and my glory; He is my Rock of unyielding strength and impenetrable hardness, and my refuge is in God!
Trust in, lean on, rely on, and have confidence in Him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts before Him. God is a refuge for us (a fortress and a high tower). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
(Psalms 62:5-8, Amplified Bible)
“According to the Holman Bible Dictionary, hope is a “trustful expectation, particularly with reference to the fulfillment of God’s promises. Hope, is the anticipation of a favorable outcome under God’s guidance…..the confidence that what God has done for us in the past guarantees our participation in what God will do in the future.”

NO MATTER YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES, DON’T DESPAIR……..HOPE IN GOD!
Be encouraged!

The body of Christ should all encourage each other, even from the other side of the world.
You are using your blog to good effect.

Thank’s again David and you are so right because the truth of the matter is that no matter where we live in the world, we are all one body connected spiritually in Christ and need to encourage and strengthen one another and even more as time as we know it winds down.
