STEADFAST IN HOPE

 







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!
