Where is Your Hope?

You can hope to write a killer story, receive rave reviews, or sell a bajillion books.

On a deeper level, you can hope you find a job, your child will repent, the cancer goes away, or your spouse quits thinking about suicide.

You can even hope for peace and justice and all the pain and tears to stop.

Hope, my friends, is a beautiful thing.

But tragedy still happens. There are no guarantees in this life -- save one . . .

God is good.

If your hope isn't anchored in that truth, or if you choose to believe that God is not good, then you don't stand a chance of peace in your heart when tragedy happens. And it will. It always does. That's a guarantee as well.

So today, if you're looking for a lifeline to grasp onto as you bob in a raging sea of life circumstances, reach out and grab ahold of this:

The Lord is good;
a stronghold in the day of trouble,
and He knows those
who trust in Him.

Nahum 1:7

Yeah. Hope. It's beautiful.
