10-12 Nov. 2020 – Hope Series 19 – Manna by Callies
Theme: Cursed Those who Lost Hope in God.
Jeremiah 17:7 “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose HOPE the
Lord is” (NKJV). “But the person who
trusts in the Lord will be blessed. The Lord will show him that He (God) can be
trusted” (NCV).
What would happen if a person decided not to put his or her hope in God? Sometimes
there might be questions: "Is it worth to keep our hope in God? What if I
decided that it would be easier just to give it up?" Give up hope? Huh? Surprise
that God has something to say to us about those who give up hope!
"This is what
The Lord says: Cursed are those who put their trust in mere (only) humans and turn their hearts away
from the Lord. They are like stunted shrubs in the desert, WITH NO HOPE FOR THE
FUTURE. They will live in the barren wilderness on the salty flats where no one
lives." Jeremiah 17:5-6 NLT.
What would we as a person be like when we keep on trusting the Lord and keep
our hope in God?
"But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their
hope and confidence. They shall be like trees planted along a riverbank, with
roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by heat or
worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they go right
on producing delicious fruit." Jeremiah 17:7-8 NLT.
This should encourage us that we did the right thing to keep on trusting the
Lord and our hope is in God who promised to meet our needs.
So let us keep trusting the Lord!

Prayer Song: Keep Me True
Keep me true, Lord Jesus, keep me true;
Keep me true, Lord Jesus, keep me true;
There's a race that I must run,
There are victories to be won.
Give me power, every hour, to be true.
(Inspiring Choruses)
