*So much depends on your ability to keep your hope alive.*
*One thing that kept the man Job going in the midst of so many troubles of life was hope for a positive change of situation and a better tomorrow through God.*
*Hear Job himself speak to us from his mind of Hope :*
*Job 14: [7] “For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease”.*
*You must in view of the above do everything humanly possible to keep your hope alive in whatever situation you may find yourself as you journey through life.*
*Again, let us hear David speak to us about the thing that kept him going in the face of the tough trials and hot pursuits he encountered in life :*
*Psalms 38: [15] “For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God”.*
*We must all understand that, self assurance that what you desire will come to pass the way you want it is fueled by the HOPE that drives your Faith.*
*In the event that the assurance of a man is gone, it is always difficult to make progress or go forward in that kind of situation.*
*Hope is also the state of maintaining a sense of expectation that something will happen the way you so want it.*
*Just as explained by the Word of God in Heb.11: 1 – “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”*
*Know that faith will not move an inch if there is nothing to HOPE for.*
*Therefore, always remember that you can’t limit a man of HOPE, since a man of HOPE is a man of possibility.*
*Also, a man of HOPE is a man with the mind that “it can be done”.*
*Read what Heb 7:[19] has for us : “For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God”.*
*For whatever you may be going through at the moment, please don’t give up on hope and don’t lose your trust in God.*
*When hope is lost, as they used to say, “everything is lost”.*
*If a man loses everything but has hope in the Lord for a better tomorrow, it is a matter of time, things will change for him. But let a man have everything intact but without any hope for tomorrow, he may end up committing suicide. This is how much HOPE is important in a man’s life.*
*Let it always be on your mind that when there is hope, everything is a possibility. Always remember the admonition of Job to us all – Job 14: [7] “For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease”.*
