For whatever things were written before were
written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the
Scriptures might have hope. – Romans 15.4
From the very beginning of written history man has looked to
books and other sources to find instruction, direction, and hope.
Mankind continues in that same vein today. People look
everywhere for a reason to hope in what is a seemingly hopeless world. Far too
often hopelessness wins out and people just give up on life. They never do find
the answer so they live in misery, or choose a tragic option.
But the Bible claims that there is a source for hope. ‘That
the patience and comfort of the scriptures we might have hope.’
There really is hope. It doesn’t come though wealth or
resources or position or any man made philosophy. Hope comes only through the
study of God word, waiting on God, and finding comfort to carry on.
The problem with hope is that people are looking in all the
wrong places to find it.

God's Living Word is with us always, until the very end of the age. So keep lots of oil in your lamp, storing up lots of his words in your heart. He will always be with you, no matter how weak or strong you perceive yourself or others to be. I am weak, but God is Almighty and loves me.
