Hope

This is why we work hard and continue to struggle, for our hope is in the living God, who is the Savior of all people and particularly of all believers.

1Timothy 4:10

Life is hard and it can be a struggle, we all know that.  Then, if we try to remove the sin from our lives, it can really complicate everything.  You could actually say it’s much easier to just keep doing the same ole’ thing rather than trying to rock the boat and do things differently.

Is it just a cliché to say you can find your hope in Jesus Christ? What can you honestly believe in when it comes to Jesus and His word? 

The fact is we need something to believe in.  What do you believe in?  A porn site?  A bottle of vodka?  An adulterous relationship?  A gambling site or boat?  A place to shop?  Let me ask you something……..are these things where you turn when something bad happens in your life.  After you partake in these things, do you feel better or worse?  Do you have hope or guilt?

When you rock the boat and place your trust in Jesus and His word, you will experience life being pumped right into your soul,  rather than the life being sucked right out of you.

Take the first step my friend.  Choose church over sin, doing the right thing over blatantly sinning.  Choose life.

Lord, please give me the strength to turn away from the sin in my life.  Help me to change things up and choose life over death.
