LET HOPE PRODUCE MOTIVATION
It is said that a person can live forty days without food, four days without water, four minutes without oxygen, but no one wants to live even four seconds without hope.
The Good news is, that we know that this life is brief and is only the preparation for the real life that will last forever.
The Bible says: “ So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while”. (1 Peter 1:6 NLT)
Perhaps you say, “But I am going through a lot of problems”. Yes, but those difficulties are only maturing your character and preparing you to enjoy the next stage of your life, which is eternal.
The Bible says that: These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So, when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world. (1 Peter 1:7 NLT)
Therefore, be glad! Cheer up! You’re only on the warmup stage, waiting to enter the true eternal game, you are only practicing your scene in your eternal movie with God in heaven.
“So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while”. (1 Peter 1:6 NLT)
Think:
What trail are you going through?
What is the hope that you have that will maintain your attitude?
What Good has happened to you after a trail?
