Where To Put Your Hope - March 23, 2012

This morning when I was working on Covenant Prep stuff and looking for something I ran across and e-mail I had  sent to a friend a few months ago. I decided to cut and paste it  below for you guys too. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a good sermon. I woke up this morning and watched all 6 parts of this sermon as it seems to me that my expectations about things and what has been happening in reality has been very different. I realized  years ago that the majority of my life disappointments were because of my putting hopes in people and not hoping and expecting that God has it all in his hands and that he is in control. I can go to God and say “God I need encouragement, I need help, I need a miracle, etc. and I can expect him to take care of it.” I just wanted to encourage you that He is there for you in your circumstances and He can do the same for you. 

Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you;

therefore he will rise up to show you compassion.

For the Lord is a God of justice.

Blessed are all who wait for him! Isaiah 30:18

Do you not know?

Have you not heard?

The Lord is the everlasting God,

the Creator of the ends of the earth.

He will not grow tired or weary,

and his understanding no one can fathom.

²⁹ He gives strength to the weary

and increases the power of the weak.

³⁰ Even youths grow tired and weary,

and young men stumble and fall;

³¹ but those who hope in the Lord

will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles;

they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 40:28 - 31

Praying for you and yours.

Be Blessed,

Karri
