There is Hope for You in Times of Trouble

In this world, you will have trouble, but take heart for I have overcome the world. John 16:33

Published

Everybody loses hope once in a while and it is in those times that we need to root ourselves in the truth of God’s Word. As we look around the world today we see that it is so lost, so far from God. Maybe you are going through pain and losss right now. That is okay. It is natural. Remember, Jesus said, “In this world, you will have trouble, but take heart for I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

So take a moment today and read through these passages. Let them wash over you and comfort you:

Jeremiah 29:11 ~ For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Remember, it is all in His plan. He is in full control and His plan for you is good, even if with temporary setbacks and pain.

Romans 15:13 ~ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

The Holy Spirit is key here. Pray today. Ask for an infilling of the Holy Spirit to bring you an abundance of hope.

Romans 12:12 ~ Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

Be patient. It won’t last forever. Get yourself through by drawing near to God in prayer.

Hebrews 11:1 ~ Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Assurance. Conviction. That is what we have when we place our hope in Jesus.

Isaiah 40:31 ~ But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

Waiting. We don’t like to do it but it is in the patient waiting that we allow God to do His work and teach us about His loving care.

1 Peter 1:3 ~ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

Ultimately we have hope in times of trouble because of the resurrection of Jesus. That is the crowing triumph and the reason we know that we will live forever, even as we go through trouble in this temporal world.

Those Who Are to be Pitied Most

A lifetime of achievement with no eternal reward.

When we think of those who are to be pitied, we typically think of those who are less fortunate, the poor, the destitute, the downtrodden. Those who are sick or disfigured.

But what if we are missing the whole point of life?

Far more in need of our pity is not those mentioned above. No, far more to be pitied are the wildly successful, if they do not know the Lord. Think of it!

The multi-millionaire businessperson…

The Grammy awarded singer…

The championship winning athlete…

The scientist who develops cures…

And yet when they die, it is all over. There is no eternal victory. They won the battle, but not the war. A lifetime of achievement with no eternal reward. One infinitesimal moment of time in eternity.

Yet those mentioned earlier, if they know the Lord, it is but a short period of time in the grand scheme of eternity. A lifetime of suffering completed and capped off with an eternity of beauty and bliss.

So, who is to be pitied? And what about you? Do you know the Lord?
