READ: Job 11:17-18
- And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
- And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Chronicles 3-5, John 8:1-59
MESSAGE:
We live in troubled times; there’s poverty in many nations, unemployment is on the increase as well as natural disasters and uncertainty of the future. The only thing keeping it all together is our hope in God. This is why the Bible says Christ in me, the hope of glory. Many young people are depressed, abused, frustrated and want to end their lives but God has sent me to tell you that you will not die in that situation. My child, you need to keep hope alive. Jeremiah 29:11 says:
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
God will take you to that beautiful end; this is just a phase. So, rather than dwell on your current situation, look up to Jesus. Study His word and claim His promises concerning that situation. God will come through for you. Don’t give up. Keep hope alive.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, don’t let me lose my hope in You, please come through for me quickly.
HYMN: IN CHRIST ALONE
- In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This Cornerstone; this solid ground;
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm;
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ - In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live, I live. - There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ - No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.
