What Is The Most You Can Hope For?

Well? Do you face disappointment because you hope for too much? What IS the most you can hope for? In our previous BLOG we stated that HOPE is assurance, comfort and peace. It is FACT, not feeling. It is the “yet-to-be-fulfilled” certainty of the grace and mercy God has already planned planned for the believer.

What is the most you can hope for? Let me ask this in another way, what are the promises of God you can most depend upon?

It is often easy to take emotional inventory of our needs but how often do we review the vast inventory of promises from God? If we are unaware of them we cannot depend upon them. Yet, they are absolute unwavering certainties for THIS LIFE, TODAY!

I am not speaking of some health/wealth gospel. This is holding God to His promise and witnessing the fulfillment in our lives by committing to His will and trusting in His provision.

Today, right this moment, what is the promise or, “HOPE” that you are most dependent upon? Isn’t it wonderful to know that whatever the need, He has made provision – just for you? Let’s look at a few; the results are overwhelmingly exciting!
