Hope

I HOPE FOR EVENTS AND THINGS THAT WILL BRING ME PLEASURE AND COMFORT,

BOTH PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL

I HOPE THE REPAIRMAN WON’T CHARGE TOO MUCH---BUT I TRUST GOD TO

MEET THE NEED

for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.  (NKJ)

salvation of the LORD. (NKJ)

call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:

15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. (KJV)

BEFORE YOU CAN BELIEVE ALL THINGS, YOU HAVE TO KNOW THE THINGS

YOU ARE BELIEVING---NOT JUST KNOW OF THEM.....

I AM CONVINCED THAT THEY PRAYED TO BE DELIVERED from THE FURNACE

NOT thru IT

THEY HAD NO DESIRE TO GO INTO IT JUST TO PROVE THEIR FAITH

Daniel 3:16-18 16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to

the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.

17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.

18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. (KJV)

DAVID ALSO HAD HOPE FOR DELIVERANCE

1 Sam 17:36 36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this

uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.  37 David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee. (KJV)

JOB HAD HOPE AND EVEN ALLOWED GOD TO BE SLOW TO ANSWER.

Job 19:25 25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at

the latter day upon the earth:

26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:

27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. (KJV)

 

Eccles 11:1 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many

days. (KJV)

MANY ??? NOT TODAY ??

GOD SAYS TO GO AHEAD AND TRY HIM

 

Micah 7:7  7 Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of

my salvation: my God will hear me.

8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.

9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness. (KJV)

WE DONT WANT TO -FALL-SIT-BEAR- AND WE HOPE NOT TO, BUT IF GOD

DOSENT ANSWER IN my TIME FRAME, THEN I WILL WAIT.

perplexed, but not in despair;

perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. ROM 12:1-2 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. (KJV)

not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. (KJV)

READ HEBREWS 11

Heb 11:13 13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but
