Hope for Today

With much recent news of the world coming to an end, some of us have lost a little hope. Hope in a world that's seems to grow crazier each day. With all this at hand, we must still continue to find hope for today.

HOPE:
> To wish for something with expectation of its fulfillment.
> Archaic To have confidence; trust.
> To look forward to with confidence or expectation: We hope that our children will be successful.
> To expect and desire. See Synonyms at expect.
> A wish or desire accompanied by confident expectation of its fulfillment.
> Something that is hoped for or desired: Success is our hope.
> One that is a source of or reason for hope: the team's only hope for victory.
> often Hope Christianity The theological virtue defined as the desire and search for a future good, difficult but not impossible to attain with God's help.
> Archaic Trust; confidence.

Without hope we have nothing to look forward to. Things just seem to be, and whatever happens, happens. When we determine we will be hopeful, even though things seem less than hopeful, we choose to have confidence. No matter our situations or circumstances, and there may be many, we can still choose to believe in hope. I find that hope in God, putting my trust in him helps me to stay inspired even through these troubling times.

John 16:33 NIV
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

Although we are facing some of the worse troubles of our time, we can still keep hope, and allow the peace of God to rule in our hearts.

Introduction

Hello my name is Danielle Johnson-Duckery and I am the creator of Inspiration today Blog site. Through this site I intended on bringing people of all backgrounds together to interact together through inspirational and motivational words of encouragement. I believe healing words brings healing to the soul and positive words create a calm and positive atmosphere. Today I blog inspiration point #1 Stay encouraged with so much going on in the world today it is common to get discouraged, it is easy to believe that the end result of our daily issues will leave us with no hope but that is not the end result if we will press on and not give in or give up.

Brothers and sisters I leave you with these scriptures to meditate and stay encouraged on: ROMANS 8:35- Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written "for your sake we are killed all day long, we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter." Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

PHILIPPIANS 4:8- Finally brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of a good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things.

EPHESIANS 6:10- Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
