I remember a few years back when I was going through turbulent times. I would sing this song from the bottom of my heart as I believed the words to be true :
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father, You are King over the flood
I will be still and know You are God
God gives us hope. Knowing God and trusting in Him is our source of hope, when all else is failing - Psalm 27:13 NKJV
I would have lost heart,unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.
It was this hope that enabled Paul and Silas to sing praises to God whilst in prison after being flogged.
It is this hope that led men to be matyrs for Jesus - being sawn into two, et cetera. Hebrews 11
Hope in God gives us the assurance that God is supreme over all other things, and that because He is in control, everything's gonna be alright.
Trust God through the stormy waters. Trust Him when you pass through fire : Isaiah 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
The above is God's promise unto us. Therefore fear not! He is with you always.
WHAT IS NEXT?
