We are all going to face challenges in this life. Where does your hope come from? Does it come from your finances? Your family? Your career?

You will come up empty handed because that's not the way we were created to be. I am suggesting you find a quiet place and spend some time asking God to reveal those things that are giving you a false hope and ask him to replace that with the only true hope; Jesus!

Born Again to a Living Hope

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, 5 who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 9 obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. (1 Peter 1:3-9)

I shared an excerpt from Max Lucado's book A Gentle Thunder. What a beautiful image of God creating mankind.
