Topic: There Is Hope For You
Scripture Reading: Job 14:7-9, Colossians 1:27
Main Text
Job 14:7-9
'For there is hope for a tree,
If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And that its tender shoots will not cease.
Though its root may grow old in the earth, And its stump may die in the ground,
Yet at the scent of water it will bud and bring forth branches like a plant.'
Job suffered the loss of everyone dear to him as well as all of his possessions and was stricken with cancerous boils all over his body.
Proverbs 23:18 says “There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off”. No matter your losses in life, there's still hope for you in Christ.
If a tree is cut down and not uprooted, it has the chance to grow again especially in the rainy season.
We must however, hunt for the source of living water that through the din of life often seems to elude us. Just as a tree extends its roots in search of irrigation, we too must shoot out our spiritual feelers until we catch the breathtaking scent of living water.
When all seems over God is just begining.
Prayer:
Lord God, thank You for the hope i have in You in Jesus' name. Amen
Have a blessed week filled with hope!
Shalom
