Where lies your hope?
Unfortunately, most persons have misunderstood this very thought provoking yet annoying question of where their hopes are based but the truth of it all is that it is most certainly what it is.
We are humans and as such are created to do things as persons who have a direct control and right over oneself and with the abilities to take decisions, not some kind of robots that are remotely controlled to yield the user's result and as such, we do have choices and preferences in life, for God said, "let us make man in our own image". - Genesis 1:26
But then, we weren't created to just inhabit the earth without having any real purpose of doing so and as the scriptures tells us, we are here to fill the earth and have in subjection, every animal in it whether flying or the creeping ones or even those that swim in our water ways.
Unfortunately, man seems to have fallen short of such glory and is made to pay for it with death given the first initial warning by God that says; " you shall positively die..." - Genesis 2:17.
Yes, that is it but after that proclamation of a death sentence was pronounced upon man, God immidiately arranged a perfect way of saving man from an entire destruction and a potential reconciliation with him and an eventual gaining back an everlasting perfect life through the death of his son Jesus Christ whose porpitiatory ramsome sacrifice was rejected given the anxieties of this very ungoldy world and Satan's continued deceit of the entire that seems under his care and rulership for now.
Where lies your hope is the question that is still be asked but it's rather for all those whom the scriptures talked about as the much deserving ones who's had a complete heart towards God and his word after giving the room to allow his word have some greater effect on them and listen to what the scriptures said about; " happy are they that walk in the delight of the Lord, for the kingdom of the heavens belongs to them..."- Mathew 5 : 6
Now, check yourself to see if you had been pronounced as happy for doing things in the delight of the Lord with the ultimate reward of inheriting God's kingdom where death, hunger, earth quake, stealing, sickness and other forms of social vices would have been well dealt with and swallowed up forever and ever even to the tone of not having any remembrance of them anymore occurring to the heart, so don't give up, keep proving yourself worthy of that spiritual calling by God.
I need you to do something this morning and that is, raise your hands right up to the sky and tell God I love you and I'm a sinner and I need your forgiveness and owe my salvation to you, pls come and take control of my life.
So I ask again, where lies your hope?😊
