The scripture for today, August 24 is Romans 8:24f as found in the New Testament of the Bible:

“For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.”

Sometimes you go through a period of your life in which it is difficult to have faith that God exists; or even if he does exist, that he cares what happens to you. During those times, you may not be able to have faith.

But you can HOPE. You can hope that God exists, you can hope he cares what happens to you. Even the weakest person can hope. Hope holds you until you are strong enough to, once again, have faith.

So the next time your faith wavers (and it happens to everyone at some time in their life), remember, you can still hope.

For a year, the wise men searched the world for the meaning of The Star. When they finally found it, it was far more than what they had HOPED for.  Easy BookBuy Link:  amzn.to/Michel-Wise-Man
