Job 13: 15 God might kill me, but I have no other hope. I am going to argue my case with him.
Psalms 94: 18 I cried out, “I am slipping!” but your unfailing love, O LORD, supported me. 19 When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.
what is our faith or our hope really built on? I was listening to a song this morning and that is what put this thought in my head... 'but our hope endures the worst of conditions, it's more than just our optimism, let the earth quake, our hope remains unchanged. Emanuel God is with us, El Shaddai all Sufficient. we never walk alone... '
we can read self help books over and over about thinking positively.. about believing the best.. but if we have nothing to back it up.. the resolve will fade.. yet with God.. no matter what goes on.. no matter how dark the night.. eventually a glimmer of light will come back on.. He will not allow us to sulk in our misery forever.. He will remind us once again that He is the one in control.. that He has our best interest at heart...
I cannot imagine living without the hope and the faith that God puts within us.. the spark of Life that He releases in the worst of conditions... God may kill me.. but I have no other hope...
