Faith & Hope -- Just what is faith & hope?

 Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO COMPLAIN!!!

  Just what is hope?  Often we hear people say "I hope......." or " I hoped that......"; but exactly what is hope?

  Many people go religiously, on payday, to purchase lottery tickets and why?  HOPE, hope they will win a million or multi-millions and "be set for life'.  And how often does this happen? Well..........let me ask this - who do you know personally that won?  Hmmm!

  Or, many buy magazines, several subscriptions, and why?  They have a chance to win, oh....$5,000 a week for life?  OR, $20,000 a year for life?  OR,   $$$$$$$.  Again, I ask, who do you know personally that has won something such as this?   Yes, me too- NO ONE!!

   However, I have won the major lottery of life and you have as well.  And what is this - do tell?

  By our faith, our hopes will come true - we will spend our life in eternal bliss with the one and only living God. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

    By my faith comes the hope that I will be as Enoch: Hebrews 11: 5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

   My faith and hope is that the rapture will come, Jesus will return, and all will end well.  Where do you stand, today, on your faith?  Where do you stand, today with hope?  Hope and faith in God is the answer for the world today.  Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
