Essentials For Living: Hope For The Future
02/28/10
Dr. Phil Wilkes, Amos 9:5-15
There is a huge difference between wishful thinking and hope. Hope is a powerful motivator in our lives. It enables you to keep going when circumstances are not in your favor. Amos delivers a message to the Israelites that they will be taken into captivity by a pagan nation. But in the midst of God’s judgment he also offers hope. Those who turn back to God will come through as a remnant God will re-establish in Israel. God assures those who fully trust Him that they are not abandoned or forgotten even in dark days. They have hope because God is working in their lives. Rediscover hope in your life as you give yourself fully to Christ.

Dr. Phil Wilkes, 1Thessalonians 5:16, John
15:11
God has not designed the Christian life to be lived in anxiety, stress and worry. Instead we are told that the Holy Spirit wants to fill you with joy. How can you experience this joy that is described in scripture? There are some things that can steal your joy and rob you of what God desires for you. You can also choose to implement some simple practices that will enable you to be filled with joy, even when life is challenging. God never intended for you to just “survive” life but to experience the abundant life Jesus promises and that life is filled with joy.
