HOPE IN THE MIDST OF YOUR BATTLES

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: HOPE IN THE MIDST OF YOUR BATTLES

Text: Psalm 27:1-6

Intro: As I read the words of this psalm, I see the imagery of battle being portrayed in these verses. Words like “enemies” and “foes” in verse 2; “host” in verse 3; “war” in verse 3; and “enemies” in verse 6 all speak of warfare. Phrase like “though an host encamp against me”, verse 3; and “though war should rise against me”, verse 3 speak of a battle being waged against David. It appears that he is in a difficult situation. Yet, it is also very clear from reading these verses that even in the midst of the battles he is fighting, David still has hope.

The Bible teaches us a vastly different definition of hope. Listen to the words of Jeremiah, “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is,” Jer. 17:7. Hear also Paul, “And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity,” 1 Cor. 13:13. The world says that hope is merely a fond wish or desire. But, the words used for hope in the Bible tell a different story. They teach us that hope is “A deep settled confidence that God will keep His promises!”

Now brethren as you go out today have hope that all shall be well and expect it you will see a good result with faith in Jesus name.

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME LORD TURN OUR HOPE TO ACHIEVEMENT
