"The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up." -1 Samuel 2:6

Does this verse scares you? or does this verse gives us hope?

One thing is for sure, this verse assures us what our God is capable of doing.

It suggests to fear God and also to hope in Him.

Fear God. To fear God is to do His will and command because we are afraid of His wrath to be poured out to us if we happen to disobey Him... Knowing that there will be consequences if we don't obey Him.

Disobeying God and to disregard His Word- will end us to sin against our God and we know where sin will lead us, death.

"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." -Matthew 10:28

God laying down His will & command to us is actually for the best, it is for our own good. He knows that we can't go on in this life without His guidance because man is an imperfect being, our ways leads us to our destruction, that is why He has given us His Word to save us, instructions for us- in how we can live a worthy life... that leads to eternity.

And that life is what we hope for to have. A life possible only thru His Son Jesus Christ.

Hope in God. This is a product of our faith.

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." -Hebrew 11:1

To wait on the salvation He has promised us thru His Son Jesus, to whom we are all saved... we hope in Him, that whatever He spoke are truth- it will surely come to pass and those are life leading Words.

We have placed our hope in Him, the moment we receive Jesus in our hearts. We hope in the salvation God has prepared for us. We hope for the truth in His Word. We hope for the life that is in His Son, Jesus.

We hope in Him.

Our hope is in Him.

He is our hope.

To God be the glory!
