We live in a world where according to Jesus we will surely have trouble (John 16:33). Some trials and tribulations simply come from living in this fallen world and are those which are common to man. Some trouble is the unique variety that afflicts a child of God living in an unbelieving world. Some of our trials are internal—the “Romans 7” type—as we yearn to grow in grace, but find sin still firmly rooted within us. Whatever the brand of struggles we face, we need a secure hope in order to “hang in there” over a lifetime of growing in grace. In Hebrews 6:19 hope is called an “anchor for the soul.” That is a tremendous image, the picture of an anchor giving security and stability to a ship in a midst of a storm. That is what hope does for us, and more. (Romans 5:2-5) We can remain steadfast, trusting God through present difficulties and pains, because we know the outcome…Only with a secure hope rooted in the faithfulness of God will we be able to weather the storms of life…It is our total confidence that Christ will complete the work He began in us that enables us to persevere over a lifetime. Without hope, people give up. The Christian life must not only be empowered by faith; it must also be sustained by hope. *When we visited the Philippines in 2016 (away from the "tourist" spots)... until then, I personally had never seen such perseverance from a group of people. The Philippine people, more so the followers of Christ, were truly inspiring. The way they would "keep pressing on" in spite of the daily suffocating hardships. They were absolutely joyful, they were hopeful, they were patient in affliction and truly faithful in prayer. #MSMInk OFFICIAL WEBSITE https://www.mustardseedministriesink.com DONATE or BECOME A PATREON https://www.paypal.me/josephgalvan https://www.patreon.com/MSMInk FACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/MustardSeedMinistriesInk
