Hope Is Never Disappointing


Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given us. Romans 5:5

Hope in the Truth of our Father never disappoints or shames us! Wow! Hope never disappoints us! I don’t know about you, but it is far easier for me to hope for something then to believe for it. I can easily hope for the winning lottery ticket to be given to me by a stranger, while it is hard for me to believe it. It is easy to have a hope for our Father to use us and will never disappoint us or shame us to have such hope. We won’t ever be disappointed because our Father has poured His love into our hearts. We are told in the Bible that faith is the evidence of things hoped for, the substance of things not seen, and hope in God’s Word never disappoints us! Satan has crept into religion; He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing and he has tried to delude this awesome Truth.

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Matthew 7:15

Satan uses false prophets who speak so softly, they profess things like perfection in Christ is arrogance and cannot be enjoyed by mere humans. They teach that we are only men and that our free will’s drive our lives. This is why our Father is having us going over scripture after scripture that proclaim His Truth that has set us free. Because God’s Word says something entirely different about who we are now in Christ.

So if we can get people to hear the Truth of who we are now in Christ, hope will come, then faith, true faith, Authored and Finished by Jesus Himself! Jesus will Author His faith through us that will allow Him to transform the world, faith that will set the captives free. The Truth will allow our Father to do His works through us just as He did through Jesus. The Truth will go even farther and allow our Father to do greater works then He did through Jesus, because Jesus has been raised from the dead, John 14:12!

This is why our Father keeps us writing and talking about His Word, because He wants people to hope for the Truth. As Paul wrote, how can we hear the Truth without a preacher, and how can we preach the Truth without the Word, Romans 10:14? Praise God we are all able bodied ministers through the strength of our Lord and Savior Jesus! So hope for greatness in Christ. Hope to be used today to do great works. Hope for perfection, wisdom, peace, joy, faith, and love today, you will not be disappointed and you will not be shamed. Hope for greatness today!

But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides. So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:33-34
