When All Our Hope And Trust Has Gone

                 When All Our Hope And Trust Has Gone

Jeremiah 14:8a Contemporary English Version

You're our only hope; you alone can save us now. 

^{Genesis 15:4-6}

⁴ And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.” 

⁵ Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.”

⁶ And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.

See here in Genesis 15:4-6 God, Abba Father is promising Abraham and his wife Sarah their own baby even though Abraham was at this stage 80 years old and His wife Sarah was around 60 years old, past child bearing years. But even though Abraham laughed at this promise, he still believed God that He would come through with this promise. They waited 10 years and Sarah had given up and told Abraham to go have a baby with her servant and he did. But still 20 years later the promise God had made to Abraham and Sarah still hadn’t came into being. Then God says to Abraham this time next your Sarah will be with child. Because Abraham believed God and never gave up on God’s promise it was given to him in God’s timing. When it could have only happened through God and that there would be no doubt.  Abraham didn’t give up his hope and trust in the Lord for God had promised.

Sometimes Abba Father gives us a promise and sometimes we see it pretty much straight away. But sometimes when Abba Father holds back His promise for a God timed moment you just have to hold onto what He has promised and believe and trust that Abba Father knows exactly what He is doing and when He has to do it. Even though on that journey we can get a little impatient and want it now. The true blessing the full fruits can only come when it is in His timing of it and His purpose.

Just like a promise Abba Father made for me nearly 30 years ago of full restoration and fully healed. This has been a journey of healing along the way for me and I trust in Him that that healing is still coming to fruition. I put all my trust in Him for He has never failed me in anything.

Sometimes we put our hope and trust in so many things and other people but not always those things or people can follow through and see you through your journey.

Just like in this Covid isolation after being in isolation last year for almost 9 month and now somehow we have ended back in isolation. Yes put our trust in the Governments and scientist that they will get us through this but there is no promise from them for that. But when you put your trust and hope in Abba Father and hold onto His promises He will get us through this and safely out the other side. I know this with all of my heart.

Here are some other promises that our Abba Father has for us from His word spoken for you: 

^{Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV}

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or

 terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with

 you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Psalm 91:2 NKJV

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;

My God, in Him I will trust.”

Psalm 27:5 NKJV

For in the time of trouble

He shall hide me in His pavilion;

In the secret place of His tabernacle

He shall hide me;

He shall set me high upon a rock.
