Where is your hope?

Many Christians today live a life like a roller coaster—up one minute, down the next. Instead of growing spiritually, we find ourselves at a stalemate, living a stagnated life. Until we realize this hope is through intimacy with Christ, we will continue to live a stagnated life. The true is the world is full of uncertainty, doubt, pain and sorrow.

Some Christians believe that living the Christian life requires only attending church, reading the Bible, praying, and serving. While this is good, we must remember that we have the holy, sovereign God within us.

The power we need to live the Christian life isn’t given from on high, but rather, from within you, as a result of Christ's indwelling presence. Our helper is the holy spirit, whom Jesus promised will always be with us.

The Lord understands our human frailties and limited power and that we are unqualified to live the Christian life on our own. So, it is his goal to accomplish this through us, by the power of the holy spirit who dwells in us.

Therefore, let us stop looking outside yourself for strength to carry on and turn to the indwelling presence of Christ within.

Blessed is the man who trust in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.

—Jeremiah 17:7
