Well hey, good morning everybody. This morning I'm going to read from Romans 8 verses 24 and 25 where Paul talks about hope. And hope is a powerful thing. He says, For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it. Hope can be one of those things that helps us be able to get through a day when we have no idea how we're going to get through it. We don't see the answer. And that's what Paul is talking about here. That if we already see it, if we've already obtained it, if we already grab it, then there's no room for hope. We already have it. But hope is that confidence. It's not a wish. It's actual confidence that we have, not in ourselves, but in the Lord. Our hope is our confidence in the Lord that even though we don't see a way out of this pain, if we don't see a way out of this issue, we know that God is in control. So I want to encourage you today, if you're going through something, if you have a pain, a hurt, if there's something happening in your life, I really want to encourage you today to cling to the hope that you have in Jesus. Because what you may be going through is painful, it's legitimate, it's hurtful. You don't see the other end of the tunnel. But just know that your God sees. He knows, He understands, and He can provide a way. Please today find hope in your freedom in Christ and Him being in control of all things. Listen again, I pray that you have a good day today. If I can pray for you, do anything to help serve you or your family, please shoot me a message. I love to be able to serve you the best way that I can. God bless. Have a great day today.
