“For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut
down, that it will sprout again, And that its tender shoots will not cease. Though
its root may grow old in the earth, And its stump may die in the ground, Yet at
the scent of water it will bud And bring forth branches like a plant.” Job
14:7-9
The second force that determines your life is
the force of hope. This is the force that keeps you moving towards your goal in
life. In life, the roads are not always smooth. There are valleys, mountains,
seas, and rivers to be crossed. If the force of hope is not present, the heart
becomes weak and the journey may be truncated. The force of hope gives
reinforcement to the force of faith. Beloved, never lose hope no matter what
you are passing true. A man may be breathing but if he has lost hope, he has
lost his life.
Our text today says there is hope for a tree
that is cut down, it will come up again. Even when its root grows old and dies
in the ground, there is still hope for it. A contact with water will revive the
tree. I do not know the level you are now, but there is something I know, there
is hope for you.
Ecclesiastes 9:4 says, “For to him that is
joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead
lion.” There is a connection that will never fail you and that is your
connection with Jesus. If you are joined to Him, I can tell you with all
assurance that there is hope for you: your future is bright and beautiful no
matter the state of the present. Micah 7:8 says, “Rejoice not against me, O
mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall
be a light unto me.” Beloved, may be people are rejoicing because you are down
now. Don’t lose hope because if you don’t, their laughter will not last. The
light of God shall rise on you; you shall rise again.
Beloved, keep the picture of your glorious
future before you. If you don’t lose hope, you will get there.
I see God making unusual things happen in your
life in Jesus name.
