To have a real hope....

In the many months since my last post, it seems that God has been speaking to me through books, and sermons, articles on the web, and even Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh. No, don't think I've fallen over the edge and somehow tied my faith with my political leanings. But I have listened to the mess that our country, society, and culture have become; yet these commentators, entertainers, or whatever you want to call them, have continued to focus on having hope. I find that to be comforting, and a message I need to not hear just once, but on a daily basis. Sean frequently says , "Let not your heart be troubled..." and I have no idea if that is just one part of a statement made in the book of John in the Bible. I don't know if these men actually have hope in God, or more specifically hope in the Savior of Jesus Christ. But even so, through the rantings and commentating on the days events, I have been able to focus on Jesus as my only hope.

That brings me to the point of this little post...Hope can only be found in our Lord Jesus Christ. Thankfully He knows our circumstances, knows about the banking crisis, knows about the moral decay in our culture, knows about the aches in our heart and about our woundedness. In the midst of this, He is there. Friend if you are in need of Hope, turn to Jesus....our only source of Hope.
