No matter how well we may think we run our lives, the truth is that we need help with everything. We are actually very needy and totally unable to handle life properly on our own.
Few people, if any can, face life without some sense of hope. Some put their hope in money, social status, family, or in their profession. Any one of these options gives a person a reason to get up in the morning. Yet the reality is, every one of these "hopes" can disappear in a heartbeat. The key is where we place our hope.
The only solid foundation on which to base true hope is to put our trust in the character of the living God, not your present circumstances.
Although we may seem to manage ourselves and our lives well for a while, sooner or later something happens and things begin to fall apart if we are living in our own strength instead of receiving divine help.
Many times, we do fine until trouble comes. It may come in the form of a broken marriage, the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or something else important to us. But eventually, we all reach a point where we have to recognize our neediness.
As long as we have placed our hope in the one true God, we have the capacity to endure life's trials.
The King of all kings and the Lord of all lords understands endurance. He endured more on the cross than we can even imagine, and He has promised to never leave us nor forsake us.
In Him,
Dalinda
