Does Hope Make You Strong?
March 20, 2024
How do you stay strong when life gets tough?
Psalm 31:24 says, “Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.” Another translation says, “Be brave. Be strong. Don’t give up. Expect God to get here soon.”
When we put our hope in the Lord, we can be brave. We can be courageous. We can face our battles with strength and confidence, trusting that God is with us, helping us through it all.
Imagine how awesome this world would be if none of us ever chose to cower in fear. If no one ever decided that isolating and hiding away was the best way to live. With hope, we can look any challenge straight in the eye and say, “With God’s help, I’ve got this.” Hope leaves no room for fear.
So next time you feel tempted to give up, or give in, remember you have another option and that your hope makes you strong.
Remember, choose hope today.
