Our God offers hope when there is no hope. And hope is all one needs sometimes. The assuring knowledge that God is there and that He cares. And from that hope our soul can emit praise to the one who is called Savior and God.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

We all hope for better things. Our faith in God, and faith within outselves prepares us for a greater walk with the Lord. Our goal as Christians should always be to glorify God in our daily life.

We hope that the world will get better, that people will stop killing each other, hating, and doing all those bad things.

We have faith in God. He lives in us. We are controlled, directed and led by the Holy Spirit.

Romans 8-9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

It is not enough to have the Holy Spirit. The Spirit must have us and be in us. We have an obligation to the Holy Spirit. When we allow God to lead us, the Spirit will empower us to obey and be more like Him. We cannot do this on our own.

Romans 8: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. We should praise the Lord at all times, because without Him we can do nothing.

Our daily prayers go out to all of the sick and shut-in, those in the nursing homes, the hospitals, prison, homeless, and all in need of a blessing of help.
