Missions and Hope (Wednesday Night Bible Study)

Wednesday night was really centered around two major things. First, we spent the majority of the time working on shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. We have participated in this for several years, and this year was no different. We wrapped and stuffed shoeboxes (some boxes were more beautiful than others). The ultimate purpose was to take part in the Great Commission.

We looked at Psalm 46 and the idea of hope. We have heard a lot about hope, but much of that discussion is not true to the Christian idea of Hope. The synopsis of all that we discussed was as follows: Though the world changes and people are crazy, the LORD is the one who brings true stability in our lives. And, the person who hopes in the LORD will never have his hopes dashed. As Christians, we should place all of our hope in the LORD, and in Him alone. Any time that we place our hope in anything other than the LORD we must pray for the faith to trust Him more.
