    "Don't be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and flame will not scorch you." Isaiah 43:1'2 WEB...

  • Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he was about to come. Then he said to them, "The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send ou...

While I Breathe

  • Let's hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful. Let's consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:23-25 WEB.

    My home state of South Carolina carries this inscription on the state seal, "Dum Spiro Spero." In Latin, this phrase means, "While I breathe, I hope." This is a profound statement because where there is hope, there is life. When all hope is gone, it usually ends. That is a goal of Refreshing Hope Ministries, to refresh your hope each day. As long as you are still sucking air, you can make it through one more day. Hope is extremely effective at driving away doubt, fear, darkness, and discouragement.

    Despair is defined as "The complete loss or absence of hope." Most of us know what despair sounds like because we listen to it all day long in our minds. It is always there, trying to beat us down, trying to make us give up our hope, to discourage us, and get us to stop.

    Hope is like the sunlight that chases away the darkness. Hope says: "I can do this! This will turn out well for me. Something good is coming my way. This is not the end. God has got a plan for me, and I am going to see this through. I will overcome this, and my breakthrough is coming soon! This enemy will not beat me!"

    Don't give up hope in the goodness of God during the dark times, for it's all you have left. God is going to do the things that He has promised you. He is completely faithful and has nothing but the best intentions for you. Even when this life is over, it's not the end. It will be the beginning of really living. The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me (Hebrews 13:6). While you breathe, hope.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father, I choose to trust in You. I know that You are there for me, and I am so thankful for all You do. Please restore my hope today and let Your Son shine through me. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!
