THE AUDACITY OF HOPE.
TEXT JOB 7-9
7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
9 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
The word of God is our assurance that our present condition is not our final destination.
It is our light in the dark tunnels of despair.
The word of God is our confidence that we will never remain on the ground.
We are sure that we will rise again.
Our partriach Job captured it accurately, he said that there is hope for a tree that has been cut down.
He said that even if the roots had become dead by reason of age, if it will get the scent of water, it will come alive.
Water here represents the word of God.
Ephesians 5 verse
26 "That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,"
Beloved, declare it very loud that you cannot be hopeless.
You must keep your hope alive.
When your hope is gone, your joy is also gone because it your hope that secures your joy.
It is with your joy that you can draw from the well of life ( the many possibilities of life).
Never forget that you are the apple of God's eyes.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not
bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them devotionals)
