"Joy comes in the morning (Ps. 30).” “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases…He compassions are new every morning…Great is His faithfulness (Lam 3:22). “Even the youths shall be exhausted, and the young men will all give up. 31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:30-33 TLB).” “I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection (Phil 3:10).”
1. When we hurt we must TRUST THE LORD by spending productive time in the WAITING rooms of life.
How:
A. You look for the most SPIRITUAL people you can find and stay close to them.
B. You share your NEEDS with others who care about you in the Lord.
C. You intentionally do something to better KNOW Jesus.
2. We must realize there is a big difference between putting our TRUST in the WORLD and our TRUST in JESUS .
3. Everything we need to know about HOPE can be found in the cross and the empty tomb.
