REVIVE YOUR HOPE: PART 2
Jeremiah 31:16 -17 Thus saith the LORD; Refrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy. And there is hope in your future, saith the LORD
One does not hope for what he already has. We hope for what we are expecting. HOPE is not needed in the midst of celebration. HOPE is required when things are going rough, HOPE is required when delay is experienced in actualizing one's dream and HOPE IS REQUIRED when a prayer of request is made.
Every new month requires new HOPE. You have to put your pasts behind you. All the ugly things which you experienced in the month of July, they are gone with the month of July. This is the beginning of a new month and God is saying to you right where you are now "REFRAIN YOUR VOICE FROM WEEPING AND YOUR EYES FROM TEARS". Meaning, God is seeing you, He is watching you right now. He knows your pains, your weakness, your struggles and He sees your tears. And He cares for you. God did not speak concerning your pasts. Though He spoke concerning your present state and your work but He spoke to your future. He gives us HOPE for the future. No matter what we are going through we must wait to rejoice. We must endure to tell the story behind our glory. Behind every glory there is a story. Please, do enjoy this beautiful song "I have a Hope by Tommy Walker.

PRAYER:
Almighty God, I surrender all to You, You are my Creator and my Hope. I commit all my activities this new month to You. I commit everyone in my family to You. And I declare this month, my month of celebration in Jesus' name. Amen
