Hope against Hope – words some take for light.  Hoping against all that you know and can deduce into reasoning is hard.  Hoping in and of itself is hard on the person that chooses to believe God over all that they can see or within our own ability.  What’s hope? Hope is to believe that God will do - what? There is some maybe hoping for a spouse, that dream career, prosperity to bless our children’s children, our dream home, for healing or to be fruitful in childbearing.  There is much that we hope for but we don’t know whether or not it’s going to fulfill us or not.  And that is why we hope in God for his best for us, because only he knows – what is THE best for us. Hope is not for the faint of heart.  Hope is one of the most painful experiences that you may ever find yourself in because you are in pain and God is well aware of your pain, in fact, he is the one that has given you the reason for your hope, but he is also the reason why you hope thus the pain – a paradox to say the least.  God’s blessing may start off appearing to be small or insignificant and then over time can become starbursts and multiplicities that reach beyond our thinking, reach or scope.  All throughout the Bible, God’s admonition is for us to be “courageous” and “do not fear”, why is that you think?  Have you ever asked yourself why?  Sometimes the most obvious is the hardest for us to see, because many will become discouraged and fearful at what they see or do not see.  There is a reason why God loved King David so, so much.  David found a way to encourage himself in the Lord – despite the circumstance.  Do what you have to do to remain hopeful – Read your bible or other bible principled teachings, pray, fast, call on the name of the Lord, plead the blood of Jesus, write, study to show yourself approved – all of the above, if you can or in tandem.  Hold on to the Lord until he blesses you.
