PositiveHopeisaChristians steadfastanchor. Thesethreeabide; faith,

hope, and love. The greatest we are told is love and most consider

something about faith. But what of lowly hope? In many instances and for

most, I suggest hope either is or results in a positive attitude. Rarely will

hope be found among those with a negative life perspective. Hope seems

to be a necessity for a vibrant life perspective. But where can one find a

sound basis for hope??

Considerthe woman with issue of blood who was healed by only touching

the hem of Jesus garment. If there were ever a reason to lose hope she

would be it. For it istoldshe spent all her money on physicians but was

none the better. Yet her healing was a miracle of great faith. For as Jesus

was being thronged by the crowds he said, who touched me? To which

his disciples said what mean you?, for people were all about Him. We are

told Jesus perceived virtue had gone out of Him and healed this woman.

But she had said, if I but touch the hem of his garment, I shall be healed.

For her to do that she could have been cast away but the law of faith

provedsuperiortoMosesLaw.

Raising the Shunimmites Sonback to life is also an example of hope:Andwhenhe had taken him, and brought the boy to his mother, he sat on her

knees till noon, and then died. And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the

man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out. And she called unto her

husband, and said, Send me, I ask you, one of the young men, and one of the

asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again. And he said, wherefore

will you go to him today? It is neither new moon, nor Sabbath. And she said, It

shall be well. Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go

forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee. So she went and came

unto the man of God to Mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God

saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that

Shunammite: Run now, I ask you, to meet her, and say unto her, is it well with

thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child?And she answered, It is

well:And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the

feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her

alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the LORD hath hid it from me, and

hath not told me. Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do

not deceive me? Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in

thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute

thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child. And the

mother of the child said, As the LORD lives, and as thy soul lives, I will not leave thee.

And he arose, and followed her. And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staffupon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he

went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked. And when

Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed. He

went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD.

And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his

eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and stretched himself upon the

child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm. Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went

up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the

child opened his eyes. And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he

called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son. Then

she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her

son, and went out.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within

me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my

ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast causedme to hope.

Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be

ashamed of my hope. Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have

respect unto thy statutes continually.
