There are moments in life when things look bleak. Whether you are talking about a career, health or someone’s future, everyone will face times of uncertainty. When you reach this point, you have two logical options, resign yourself to giving up hope or keep fighting.
And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore, Hebrews 11:12.
Some of the classic action films in Hollywood lure possess numerous situations when the star should die. Yet, somehow, someway, this character escapes death time after time. While these scenes don’t portray an accurate view of real life, they do point to an invisible source called faith. A hope that keeps many going despite feeling as good as dead.
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer, Romans 12:12.
Abraham and the apostle Paul both found themselves in circumstances where each thought they were on the verge of death. According to the author of Hebrews, Abraham leaned on a promise from God, to be a father of a great nation. Meanwhile, as Paul faced threats on his life from jealous Jewish officials, Paul turned to prayer. Therefore, whether your health or life is failing you, turn to the promises of the Bible and prayer to keep hope alive.
