hope
“When Saul and his troops heard the Philistine’s challenge they were terrified and lost all hope.” I Samuel 17:17 (The Message). The last phrase jumped out at me, “…lost all hope…” I’ve been there. It can prevent us from seeing the way of escape. I love how The Message Bible begins verse 12: “Enter David.” The times I’ve lost all hope also had a new “sentence”, or a new beginning to it. It would be “Enter God.” As a result, here I am today, alive because He wasn’t done with me. It’s a full 180 degree turn to go from having no hope to the Creator entering the picture!
