Hope in Hopeless Situations
Romans 4:18-19
18 Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!” 19 And Abraham’s faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead—and so was Sarah’s womb.
God chose Abraham to be the father of many nations but the issue was his wife couldn’t have children. The situation seemed hopeless but Abraham still believed. Hope truly exists in hopeless situations. The only time you need hope is when something is uncertain or unclear and you are not sure what the way out is. So instead of being discouraged in times of uncertainty, be encouraged to put your hope in God because he always comes through just like he did for Abraham and Sarah.
Challenge: Read Romans 4. What uncertainty, worry, or anxiety do you currently have in your life that you can choose to put your hope in Jesus and lay it at his feet today?
