Hope
Last week President Trump said that he was setting a goal for our country of being back on track by Easter. Many said that he should not have said this, but I think it was a good thing. He instilled hope by setting a light at the end of the tunnel even if that end is further down the road than April 12th. All of us need hope, without it we live in despair.
How much more does this ring true for those who have placed their hope in the living God. Hebrews 10: 23 says, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;” and Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is the [a]assurance of things [b]hoped for, the [c]conviction of things not seen.”
Present Trump is trying to instill hope but let us not forget where our true hope lies. God alone is in control of the COVID19 situation and He alone has the power to bring good out of it for those who choose to put their hope in Him.
Romans 15:13, May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
