There are times in our lives when we just know that God is leading us.
But one thing is sure, where God leads he equips.
March 28 | Finding Hope
Faith and Courage | Finding Hope
We are a lost people looking for direction and hope.
When a society turns its back on God and looks to science or philosophy to find its hope, that society as truly lost its way.
We must be careful that we don’t put our hope in science alone.
Our hope starts with the belief in God and what he has created.
Hebrews 11:1-3 NIV
Do you have hope?
Job 8:11-13 TLB; 1 Peter 1:3 NIV
- How do we find hope?
1st Hope is found in Jesus
– Hebrews 6:19 NIV
o Hope is firm
o Hope is secure
– Romans 15:13 TPT
– 1 Peter 1:18-21 NIV
2nd Hope is found in God’s word
– Titus 1:1-2 ERV
– 2 Timothy 3:16-17 TLB
– Hebrews 6:13-18 NIV
– Psalms 130:5-7 NIV
By having a firm foundation in God’s word, we will not lose hope.
Note: Luke 18:1
– Prayer keeps us close to God; it is our hearts being touched by his; it is allowing his words to sink deeper into our souls
What causes us to give up hope?
– Fears
– The unknown
– Loneliness
– Uncertain about tomorrow
– Pain of separation
– Unfulfilled needs and wants
– Not feeling loved
Proverbs 3:5-6 TLB
3rd Our hope is secure by the Holy Spirit
Ephesians 1:13-14 NIV; 2 Timothy 2:19 NLT; Ephesians 4:30 TLB
May you find hope today in the fact that God loves you and has not abandoned you. All of these promises are for you too.

Making Wise Choices | March 21, 2021
James 1:5 NIV God desires to reveal to us his will for our lives
1st Does my choice line up with God’s word
- Matthew 4:1-4 NCV If your choice violates God’s word, his given truth, then your answer has to be NO!
- You can’t violate God’s word and think he will bless you
- Psa. 119:11 NIV Allow your choices to be filtered through God’s word
2nd Allow God to call the shots in your life, not you
- Col. 3:15-17 NIV
3rd Will it cause me to grow in my walk with Christ
- 1 Cor. 10:23-24, 31 NIV Freedom is mine as long as I seek to honor God
God’s permissive will allows me to choose, so choose wisely.
- Ask, “Will it further God’s kingdom in my life”
- Ask, “Will Christ be glorified in my decision”
- Ask, “Will my testimony be enhanced or destroyed”
- Ask, “Is this the best for my life right now”
4th Will my choices be pleasing to my Savior
- Gal. 1:10 NCV
Our lives are meant to glorify Christ.
- Psa. 119:17-24 Msg Ask yourself this question, “Do my decisions reflect the truth that I am serving the Lord?”

5th Always seek godly advice
- Prov. 11:14 Msg; Psa. 1:1 NLV
Life-changing decisions are hard, get wise advice. Prov. 10:8 TLB

6th Will God, family or friends be embarrassed with your choices
- Hebrews 4:13 NCV; 1 Cor. 3:10-19 TLB; 2 Cor. 5:10 NIV
Our actions or decisions will reveal the truths of our heart.
- Our actions will be judged by our family, friends and yes, God himself
Conclusion
None of us make the right decision every time.
Don’t let your pride cause you to walk away from your bad decisions.
- Take responsibility for your actions; The ones that are wrong, seek God’s forgiveness and wisdom to correct them; Do what is right, no matter the consequences
Have the faith that God will walk with you through your corrections. Have the courage to right your wrongs. Deut. 30:19-20 TLB
