Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer.
God's Word gives us strength to get through the tribulations of life. It gives us hope in our prayers and we need to be patient for God's answer . Though we do not always get the answer that we want, He gives us the answer that we need at the time. Romans 12:12 reminds us to rejoice in hope because God is is the God of hope. We are to rejoice in the hope that He will give us what we need, AND we are to rejoice in the hope of Christ's return.
Our prayer lives are to be constant and never ending. We are to be patient in times of trouble, for God is allowing the trouble to refine us. Patience brings peace.
As Ms. Stamm writes, "God is interested in our lives. We can rejoice in our hope in a God who is all-powerful. We can be patient in tribulation, knowing that He is near to comfort and encourage. We can be steadfast in prayer, for He has promised to hear and answer."
Hang your hopes on His promises!
Be thankful this Thanksgiving day, and always!
