*Topic:* The Language of Hope
*Text:* Job 14:7
_For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease._
So God brought us into the understanding that his plans are perfect for us in every circumstances we may face, and in him is yea and amen. However, like a tree cut down, life is full of slashing difficulties here and there. Problems and situational crises differ in grades. While some people are faced with minor difficulties such as deciding on how best to run their finances or daily activities, others are facing stark turmoil and hard crises in their families, relationships, careers, and so on, with a situation that tends to bury them completely. The language for today is that of hope which is saying that it is not yet over.
Are you overwhelmed by what you are passing through currently? Probably you think this is the end for you? Are you even at the point of considering su***de as the best alternative means of escape from what you are passing through? God says he has something for you. You can still laugh over that crises. The language of hope this morning is talking to you that a wind of change is fast approaching.
So what do you think you should do? You can't just sit, fold your hands and let the enemy win the battle. There is no pleasure in failure and never is there any joy in defeat. At this point the language of hope says:
_Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me._ (Mic.7:8)
If there is hope for a tree that God called out in creation, how much more you that he formed by his hands? Come closer to God, stay strong in him and see the language of hope manifest into reality.
*Confession:* Lord I speak the language of hope to my situation this morning. I declare that there is a positive overthrow of every unpalatable situations in my life. Amen.
