Hope is a feeling of expectation, 00:00:31.16\00:00:33.63 a desire for a certain thing to happen, 00:00:33.66\00:00:36.10 a lot of people pray for a certain thing to happen 00:00:36.13\00:00:39.03 but it doesn't happen exactly the way they hoped it would. 00:00:39.07\00:00:42.07 For instance, they may have to go through 00:00:42.10\00:00:44.04 some muckety-muck to reach their expected outcome, 00:00:44.07\00:00:47.64 that thing that they so hoped for. 00:00:47.68\00:00:50.11 But to remind you, Romans 8:28, reads like this, 00:00:50.15\00:00:54.22 "And we know that God causes all things to work 00:00:54.25\00:00:56.79 together for good to those who love God, 00:00:56.82\00:00:59.29 to those who are called according to His purpose." 00:00:59.32\00:01:03.93 Now that's not a verse I typically think 00:01:03.96\00:01:06.26 of when I'm looking for hope, because it has a hint 00:01:06.29\00:01:10.17 of an uh-oh, why would God have to cause 00:01:10.20\00:01:13.50 something to cause to work together for good? 00:01:13.54\00:01:16.64 If there's any question or doubt, 00:01:16.67\00:01:18.57 I'm for bailing on the situation. 00:01:18.61\00:01:21.14 But God understands and He's going to work it out. 00:01:21.18\00:01:24.61 We just have to hold on to hope. 00:01:24.65\00:01:27.18 We serve the same God 00:01:27.22\00:01:28.72 who was with Daniel in the lions' den, 00:01:28.75\00:01:31.09 who is with the Hebrew children in the fiery furnace. 00:01:31.12\00:01:34.42 I'm sure that's not what any of them signed up for, 00:01:34.46\00:01:37.33 hoped for. 00:01:37.36\00:01:38.83 They just wanted to serve God. 00:01:38.86\00:01:42.16 But storms happen, and death is real. 00:01:42.20\00:01:46.23 God can calm the storm, and He has defeated the grave. 00:01:46.27\00:01:51.07 So even when things do look scary, 00:01:51.11\00:01:53.68 hopeless, God is much bigger than any circumstance 00:01:53.71\00:01:58.38 that can come against us. 00:01:58.41\00:02:00.25 If you have lost hope, during these challenging times, 00:02:00.28\00:02:04.05 let's spend some time asking God to restore that hope. 00:02:04.09\00:02:07.59 Father God, You are so big and so powerful, 00:02:12.66\00:02:17.80 there is nothing that you can't handle. 00:02:17.83\00:02:21.27 We know that during these times 00:02:21.30\00:02:23.04 people are looking for something 00:02:23.07\00:02:25.54 to give them hope. 00:02:25.57\00:02:27.21 So we ask that You would give us the opportunity 00:02:27.24\00:02:30.05 to share the truth of Your love with them. 00:02:30.08\00:02:33.55 I ask that lives would be changed 00:02:33.58\00:02:36.28 and Your light would shine through all of us 00:02:36.32\00:02:38.99 so bright that people all across the nation 00:02:39.02\00:02:42.16 would turn to You because You are our hope. 00:02:42.19\00:02:47.13 Thank You, Lord, for being the great, 00:02:47.16\00:02:50.10 big loving God that You are. 00:02:50.13\00:02:52.43 And it's in Jesus' name I pray.
