A Future Hope
January 7th, 2018
Proverbs 23:9-25
Humanity is desperate for hope! People display this desperation by placing their hope in a variety of things–a hefty bank account, a lucrative career, a healthy lifestyle, the stock market, and so on. The danger of seeking hope from the world is the fact that nothing it offers can genuinely satisfy our deepest needs. Proverbs 23 teaches that if we’ll place our faith in Him, our hope will last forever.
God desires to be our hope, and He rewards our hope with eternal life; hope becomes reality. When we surround ourselves with things of the Lord, it helps us keep our hope in Him. Engaging in ministry, being involved in church, establishing friendships with Christians who will encourage us in our relationship with God are things that will help us focus and maintain our hope where it should be–in our heavenly Father.
By placing our hope in God, we’re trusting in an unshakeable and eternal reality.
