A brand new car? A beautiful home? The latest smart phone? Or maybe something like a husband or wife. Or children.
Grand as those things can be, our first hope should be for the eternal life we will have one day through Jesus Christ. For those who have called upon his name. He is called our hope in 1 Timothy 1:1.
And our real hope should be laid up in heaven if we are saved by his blood.
Sometimes it can be hard when going through a trial to see any hope for our situation. We can feel stuck. We can feel like things will never change. I know because there was a time in my life when I felt and believed these things.
Until I got hold of the verse in Hebrews 1:1 Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Faith and hope goes hand in hand. If we hope for the things that we cannot see, God sees our faith and he will work our situation out to our good. Why? Because he loves us and he wants the very best for us.

Hello Friends: The post today is rather short and I apologize. I had some technical problems with the first one and had to shorten it so I can go on with some other things we are doing. Anyway, I want to wish you with birthdays this month a very "Happy Birthday!" God bless!
