Editor’s Note: I
shared this quote last fall, but thought that during this time of pandemic
crisis it is a good reminder to share again. And if you are finding SOUND BITES
to be particularly helpful and hopeful now, please share with your friends and
family. -- DW
HOLDING ON TO HOPE
“We know that in everything God works
for good with those who love Him, who are called according to His
purpose.” (Romans 8:28 RSV)
Hope is a necessity for real living, but
especially in [times of crisis]. As Christians, we can have the hope and
expectation that life will be good again. It may not be the same, but it can be
good again. Hope is belief in possibility. It is not unrealistic optimism that
everything will work out and things will be like they were before. It is
confidence and faith that however things turnout, God will be with us, will see
us through, and will bring healing.
Hope comes out of resurrection faith,
the faith that no matter how bad things get, God is in the midst working with
us for good. That’s what Paul was saying in Romans: “In everything God works
for good…”
Hold on to your hope!
-- James W. Moore and Bob J. Moore in “Lord, Give Me
Patience!... And Give It to Me Right Now!”
