At the point when I was in theological college, I took a class in Christian Counseling. While I don't recall parcels about it, I do recollect this one thing my educator stated, "When individuals come in to see you to discuss their issues, the primary concern they have to leave with is H-O-P-E." I have always remembered that ground-breaking piece of counsel.
Countless individuals I know are losing trust - losing trust that their marriage will actually improve, losing trust that they will actually feel better genuinely or inwardly, losing trust that they will actually overcome their dependence on medications or liquor or sexual entertainment or food, losing trust that they will actually discover their perfect partner, losing trust that their unfortunate conditions will actually improve, losing trust that their cherished one will actually go to Christ. Losing trust, losing trust, losing trust.
Is it true that you are losing trust some place today? Have you quit in a part of your life in light of the fact that the conditions state NO WAY?
THE GOD OF HOPE
I love the way that God depicts Himself in the Bible as THE GOD OF HOPE - "Presently may the God of expectation fill you with all satisfaction and harmony in accepting, that you may have large amounts of expectation by the intensity of the Holy Spirit" (Rom. 15:13). Regardless of how awful the marriage, the determination, the transgression, the conditions, GOD IS ABLE!
We can have trust on the grounds that there isn't anything excessively hard for Him. What's more, the more noteworthy the issue is, the more prominent the wonder that can happen.
TAKE IT FROM THE STORY OF LAZARUS
Lazarus was wiped out, and Jesus was not around to recuperate him. That was an issue.
Lazarus at that point got ugly and passed on. That was a considerably more concerning issue.
They covered Lazarus and he was in the burial chamber for four days. That was a HUGE issue, an unsolvable issue, an incomprehensible issue.
On the off chance that you know the story from John 11, you realize that Jesus did the unthinkable. He expressed a word and raised four-day-old dead Lazarus from the grave. Amazing!!
What does that story instruct us? It instructs us that He is capable! Regardless of what the issue, He is capable. Is there anything in your life more sad than the circumstance with Lazarus? I question it. What's more, in the event that He can do a wonder for Lazarus, He can do a supernatural occurrence for you.
WHAT TO DO TODAY
David stated, "However concerning me, I will trust constantly, and will commend you yet to an ever increasing extent" (Ps. 71:14). Why not do likewise?
Take that sad circumstance to THE GOD OF HOPE. Spot that goliath estimated issue you have close to the God who is SO GIANT He quantifies the universe by the range (the separation between the thumb and pinky). Note: the universe is an expected 14 billion light years, and one light year is 5.7 trillion miles (you crunch the numbers). God estimates everything with his outstretched hand. He is ALMIGHTY GOD!!!
Begin applauding Him for the issue and continue lauding Him. He is the God of expectation, and nothing is excessively hard for Him (Jer. 32:27).
