Put Your Hope in God!

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. - Isaiah 9:6-7

Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. My soul is downcast within me; therefore I will remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar. - Psalm 42:5-6

Today, as an encouragement to your Spirit we read what the WORD tells us about the Government of our God and King. In Isaiah, it says, "that the increase of HIS government there shall be NO END". From this verse alone it shows us God's Government is increasing and there is no end to the increase of His Government. Knowing the Word helps us to look at our current situation, not from being downcast, but the reality that we can put our Hope in God. This is very difficult when what we see with our eyes in the natural man does not match up with what the Word tells us. I am sure the discples felt this same way about Jesus and the events leading up to the Cross.

By faith we must believe and take the authority that Christ has given to us through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit and walk by faith and not by sight. Call those things which are not into existence. He has all that you need today in the midst of the World economies shaking.

Blessings on your day,
