Faith

Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Hope comes from our faith in God. Our faith increases, as we spend time in a relationship with Jesus. Hope gives the strength to face the future. Faith is hoping in something, but there is no evidence in the physical or in the natural. Like Moses, our faith is in the Invisible God.

God says he will lead us out of our miseries, yet our physical eye senses nothing. Seeing only happens with our spiritual eye, our eye of faith fixed on the Lord. “Hope” is "A strong and confident expectation of good". Good things will ensue as we exercise our faith in God.

The future is uncertain, yet we have hope and we know it will be okay. Accordingly, the waters of turmoil recede away with the help of God. God writes our name and life story in the palm of his hand and he is always thinking about us.  (Isaiah 49:16). You are so precious that he thinks about you and hopes you will think of him.

Wait for My Help

God says “Wait for my help, I will not disappoint you" (Isaiah 49:23). 

Waiting for God, is a state of expectancy, that God will surely help us with our daily problems. We trust in God and wait for his help.

In every situation of financial provision, career, relationship issues, sickness, anxiety, depression and need, we wait for the Lord's help by fixing our eyes on him and dwelling in his presence. God himself says he will not disappoint those who wait for his help. A promise fulfilled to those who fix their eyes and wait on Jesus.

First and the Last

Revelations 22:13 GNB I am the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”

Everything starts and ends with the Christ. So, no matter what problem, issue, crisis or emergency, Jesus knows the beginning and the end. We walk by our faith and not by our sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). Our eyes of faith on Jesus and he helps us through all our worriment, whilst holding our hand tightly.
