Life can place heavy burdens on our hearts. Worry, fear, discouragement, and sorrow can cause us to feel weighed down and overwhelmed. God understands this heaviness, and His Word acknowledges it plainly.
Yet this verse also gives us hope. A kind word, a word of encouragement, or a word spoken in love can lift a heavy heart. God often uses His Word — and His people — to bring comfort and joy to those who are hurting.
When our hearts feel heavy, we can turn to the promises of Scripture and allow God’s truth to strengthen us. And as believers, we are reminded to speak good words to others, knowing that even a small act of encouragement can bring gladness to a weary soul.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Right now in America there is a lot of political unrest. Who is the best candidate to be the best solution for the problems we face.
The basic problem is that as a Nation we have forgotten God. God has been taken out of our schools, erased from public places and even our churches have replaced His power with programs.
Jesus is the Lamb that the book of Revelation in the Bible tells us about. Our true hope for our country and our homes and families is Jesus.
So, get out and vote for the candidates who will honor God’s principles. But put your Hope in Jesus. He is the only One who can bring peace to America and to you personally.
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Revelation 7:17
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Sometimes we make plans that seem very important to us at the time. Then something comes up, and those plans change. Maybe there’s an accident, a friend needs our help, or we cannot do it because we get sick. We are extremely disappointed and wonder, WHY?
God has allowed our plans to change. Remember, God loves us and He knows why. He may reveal the answer, but often He does not. That is when we need to trust Him all the more. He can turn our plans into His plan. The whole direction of our life can turn around in the change of just one of our plans. Are we trusting Him with our disappointments?
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Do you ever feel like giving up? Maybe you have a problem you think will never be solved. Sickness, employment, relationships poverty. All real concerns, but don’t give up.
Hope! Definition: to cherish a desire with anticipation : to want something to happen, trust. to desire with expectation of obtainment or fulfillment.
The Bible also has the answer to hope: And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee. Psalms 39:7
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. Jeremiah 17:7 There are many more verses that tell us our hope is in the Lord Jesus.
Don’t give up! Kept praying, trusting and having hope.
Sometimes we cannot see good in the situation we are in. Maybe it’s illness, accident, loss of a loved one. In our finite minds we can not understand why things are happening to us..
But, GOD will turn even the worst tragedies in our lives into something good if we will trust Him to bring it to pass. It may take time. Even months or years. Then we look back and we can see how He uses these tests in our lives and turns them into testimonies.
