Hope that endures in a world full of darkness sticks out like a sore thumb. It’s vitally important that we as the Body of Christ remain focused on the hope that lies within us. Taking our eyes off Christ, the one who has supplied our victory in every area, can lead to depression, victimization, and hopelessness. Regardless of how dark things may appear, in Christ there is abundant hope. Our Savior lives! He will make right all wrongs. We have His Word on it!
There is always hope regardless of where you are in life because we serve a God who rules and reigns over the impossible. If all things are possible with God (Matthew 19:26), then there are no impossibilities for the people of God. An indication of an unrenewed mind is hopelessness. When the mind is renewed to the Word of God we think differently. The renewed mind sees the world and situations in the world through the lens of God’s Word. If nothing is impossible for God then those who renew their minds will live lives where He is free to do the miraculous through them.
Circumstances of life are a mute point. They are a non-issue. They don’t cancel out or nullify what God’s Word has to say about a situation. My passion about life and the things God created me to be should not be hindered or hampered by the circumstances of life. When the things I battle against in life loom larger than the passion I have for becoming who God created me to be, the doors to depression, anxiety, and hopelessness fly open.
