It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Many times in life we find ourselves rebounding from the mistakes we said we would never make again. The places we said we would never go again, we find ourselves there. The people we said we would never hang around again, we find ourselves around them. The things we said we would never do again, we find ourselves doing. In the beginning you were very sincere when you made the committment. You had every intent on fulfilling the promise(s) you made. Somewhere along the way you either fell away from your word or you just totally ignored it. Whatever it was you found yourself back to square one, again. A repeated cycle. A repeated mess. A repeated relationship. A repeated promise. Have you been there? Are you there now?
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. It can be very frustrating when you find yourself doing the same things over and over and over again. Just like a hamster on a wheel, you are just running in place. You are tired as a result of it but you soon realize no progress was ever made. You thought things were looking better, but out of nowhere things changed. With one step forward, life knocked you back two to three steps. My friend, There Is Still Hope! In everything we experience in life God desires for us to realize there is hope for better days. Each day you wake to see a new day is a another day God is trying to show you He is still in control. The Bible declares in Romans 8:24 – For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? Yes things appear dark all around you. Yes many people have counted you out. Yes you want to give up on yourself and life. Yes you wish you could stay in bed all day. However, you know you must face today.
My brother, my sister, what are you dealing with this morning? What situation or dilemma are you stuck dealing with? What relationship or friendship are you trying to fix today? The Bible declares in Romans 15:4 – For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Beloved, There Is Still Hope! There is hope for a turn-around. There is hope for your current struggle to turn into a peaceful change. There is hope for all things. I do not know what you are going through today. I do not know what causes you to cry. I do not know the difficulties you experience. These I do not know. But I do know God is able to bear your load and mine. I do know God is concerned about your daily activities. I do know God can and will console you during your lowest points of life. I do know God can change your surroundings. I do know God is able to meet each of your needs without ever running out. There Is Still Hope! Do you believe it? Prayer for Today: Father, You know exactly what I am facing today. You know the pains and heartaches I bear. I need Your help today. Please help me. In the name of Jesus … Amen!
