Worry empties you of strength

Are you facing a situation that seems hopeless? What are your options? Worrying about it? That’s no option, for worrying does not empty tomorrow of its trouble, it empties today of its strength.

In the Bible, Abraham was in a hopeless situation. Both Abraham and His wife, Sarah, were well beyond child-bearing years and Abraham didn’t see any reason to hope. Yet He had a promise from God that He would be the father of many nations. The scripture says—even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept on hoping. He chose to have an attitude of faith and expectancy, and God was faithful to Abraham and fulfilled His promise!

Let me encourage you today, to stop worrying and put on an attitude of faith and expectancy. The God of Abraham is still the faithful one and will turn your hopelessness into rejoicing.
