Hope

It’s the attribute of God that banishes fear and invites us to enjoy Him forever. Absent it, we’re lost without hope.

Since the devastating event of “the fall” sin has cascaded down the stream of history to become a flood of evil and despair. Now, God is ready to wash the slate clean and start again.

Encouragement during the battle comes in many forms; a touch, a well-timed word, and here today, a prayer.

In the battle for hearts and minds…amidst the conflict joined in Eden…where do we find the hope to carry on?

Sometimes God wants us to visit the past. When things in the present seem hopeless and the future looks worse, what is behind can lift us from defeat to peace and trust.
