APPLICATION

Hope is a mighty weapon against the enemy, for it is hope in God’s promises that sees us through our darkest hours, our trials and temptations. This hope is true because it is founded on faith and trust in the God of truth. The Scriptures, which contain God’s promises and reveal His character, are the word of hope to us. The tighter we hold on to this hope the more joy we experience because of it.

The enemy desires to steal your joy and diminish the hope you have in your Savior. As the father of lies, he attempts to lead you away from the true hope to a false hope. Be careful not to place your hope in things promised to you from the world.

Be mindful of the hope you have as a child of God and be filled with an inexpressible joy.
