HOPE IN THE FACE OF HORROR  

Satan would tempt us to despair; but good hope keeps us trusting in God and rejoicing in him. -Henry

Psalm 68:19, Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah.

No matter what we face today or in the days ahead we can rest in the God we serve. There is no need to worry or fret because:

            We that are saved, place our hope in God. The day we accepted Jesus Christ as Saviour—we were saved. Eternally secured in Him. If you’re not saved, in spite of your past, in spite of what you have done, in spite of the horrible person you might think you are, there is Hope! That hope is found in Jesus Christ!

            Christian, we are being saved. We are being saved from our self and Satan’s temptations. How many times has God saved you from yourself and Satan’s temptations through His Word? 2 Peter 2:9, The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: Friend, that helps me! It gives me hope to know that God knows what I am going through and He can help me get through it!

            I will be saved one day from this old world and the wickedness found therein!

There is coming a day when no heartaches shall come

No more clouds in the sky, no more tears to dim the eye.

All is peace forevermore on that happy golden shore,

What a day, glorious day that will be.

What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see,

And I look upon His face,

The One who saved me by His grace;

When He takes me by the hand

And leads me through the Promised Land,

What a day, glorious day that will be.

            What a day that will be church when we will be saved from this old world, Satan’s temptations, and my flesh… forever! Oh, what glory awaits me! I will be saved!!!

            The Psalmist said in Psalm 43:5, Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Our hope is in God!
