STEADFAST IN HOPE!
God=Jesus=is my haven=
He is MY REFUGE
In the storm
We all have ENDLESS STORMS
In our life=and I am sure
Each of us=has many questions
We can ask the LORD
The Lord is my refuge=He REMAINS my hope=
MY STEADFAST IN HOPE!
“We who have taken refuge-
Might be strongly encouraged
TO HOLD FAST to the HOPE
That lies before us” Hebrews 6:18
How endless are
The STORMS of life
That try to SQUASH our belief
In the HOLY ONE
The Lord Jesus=the SON OF GOD?
But if the Lord is
FOR US=what do we
Have to worry
With the storms of life?
“What then
Shall we say-in response-
To these things?
IF GOD is for us=
Who can be against us?” Romans 8:31
We can LEAN on God=
We can take REFUGE
In our God=
We can still move forward-
For we are
Steadfast in the Lord
STEADFAST IN HOPE!
We don't have to worry
About the Lord=
He is TRUE
To his word=Just like he was
With Abraham
“And so after waiting patiently
Abraham received=what was PROMISED” Hebrews 6:15
This is the KEY=to getting
What we need
From God=getting what is absolutely necessary
Waiting patiently=
Remaining=STEADFAST IN HOPE!
Trusting that better days
Will arrive=waiting patiently
That is the key=in this society
To sustaining HOPE
In the midst=of a society
That is constantly urging us
To move forward=to keep moving quickly
“Create in me=a pure heart=O God=
And renew=A STEADFAST SPIRIT
Within me” Psalm 51:10
“You will keep me
In perfect peace
Those whose minds
Are STEADFAST=
Because they trust in you” Isaiah 26:3
“And the God of grace
Who called you
To his eternal glory=in CHRIST
After you have suffered a little while
Will himself restore you
And make you-
Strong-firm-and STEADFAST” 1 Peter 5:10
So while it is taking
Forever to CHANGE=
Keep waiting in hope=
REMAIN STEADFAST!
Keep trusting in THE GOD OF HOPE
He will=
NOT let you down
Remaining STEADFAST IN HOPE!
In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our FOREVER HOPEFUL HOLY FATHER God!
