JESUS is our ONLY hope

 

Lamentations 3:24 

King James Version

24 The Lord is my portion, 

saith my soul; 

therefore will I hope in him.


We all hope the world will turn out better this year.

We all hope we will have better leaders.

But what if the world is not attuned to GOD?

What if our leaders do not love Him?

What if our leaders don't even know GOD?

What if our leaders believe in a different god?

Disaster, right?

Would you like to be that different leader?

The one who believes in the One, True GOD.

The one who has offered his heart to the Lord.

The one in service to Him, following His will alone.

The one who serves others, because he serves GOD first.

If you are, then the world stands a chance.

For you will lead better.

You will lead differently.

You will live by Scripture.

God searches the world for His faithful.

In the words of Hanani, the seer, who spoke to Asa, king of Judah:

2 Chronicles 16:9

King James Version

9 For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro 

throughout the whole earth, 

to shew himself strong in the behalf of them 

whose heart is perfect toward him


But because Asa's heart was not perfect toward the LORD, Hanani declared (from the same verse): 

"Herein thou hast done foolishly: 

therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars."


Angered at the seer, the king puts Hanani in prison, and oppressed his people at the same time.

This has been the plight of the world for a long time now.

Beset by wars -- both domestic and international wars.

All because we don't want to know GOD. 
We don't want to believe in JESUS.
We don't care to know GOD's will.
We put our trust in the world.
We have many gods.
We are full of pride.
We do not seek GOD.

It all must change now.

Before it is too late.

Why should the next generation suffer?

While we all live, we must turn to the Lord.

And if we have strayed, we must return to Him.

Through His Son, JESUS.

Who happens to be our ONLY hope.

Titus 2:13 

King James Version

13 Looking for that blessed hope, 

and the glorious appearing 

of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
