As you can see in this video, it is definitely stormy and windy and it is hard to hold on to anything, so that is why we need to be anchored to a strong foundation in times such as these. Hope is that way, it is slippery in times such as these where the storm is upon our culture. What are you hoping in? Many times we use the word hope, so what does that word mean to us? Hope to me is something on my heart that I want to see happen, it usually is tied to God’s heart’s desires, but sometimes it is just about me, what I want.

Hope… is it tied to expectations that we have? Once someone shared with my some really good wisdom about expectations. Because of the human nature, our expectations can get dashed and we can be hurt or disillusioned, or very disappointed. The wisdom about expectations is to flip them to hope by giving them a strong foundation that doesn’t need a human being to carry them out. What I mean by that is we should put our expectations in the hands of Jesus and this is when they become hope. Also, this makes the object of our hope not a imperfect human being, but a perfect God.

This world is so crazy right now in that real cra-cra way where nothing is really secure or stable. So what is the foundation that is strong for our hope? It is Jesus! There is no stronger foundation than Jesus as we put our hope in Jesus, and the wind is whipping up and chaos is in our culture, we know that our hope is in a safe place, we know God can do anything and we know that what we hope in, He is already working on to fulfill that hope in the most perfect timing ever.

God finishes well, so putting our hope in Him is a great choice. Truly it does help you to hope BIG. I always hope Big because the foundation of my hope is Jesus Christ and there is no stronger foundation. Jesus is the object of my hope and I find myself not being disappointed or my hopes dashed, but I find myself believing, trusting and waiting on God with an active faith.

When my hope is in Jesus, I am more stable in my emotions, I have more joy and I have more strength to endure. There is definitely a change in me when I hope in God, it becomes less of me and more of Him and that is a good change! God bless ya! Put your hope in God.
