Hope during good times and Trials

​Hope is the golden cord connecting you to God. It’s the cord that helps you hold your head up high, even when multiple trials are pounding you. 
I thought about this when I was talking with a friend who broke his neck and had a Halo on. If you not familiar what a Halo is, it’s a device that holds you still and straight after you have either broke your neck or some type of neck surgery. We got talking and he said He needed this device along time ago and I said why do you say that with a laugh. He shared that it keeps his chin straight ahead and He can never look down and kick the rocks and feel sorry for himself. We had a good laugh about it.  It did get me thinking of how many times do we walk around looking down and kicking the rocks at our feet because of something we are going through. 
As I mentioned early Hope is the cord that connects us to God. We must put our Hope in Him and realize He has us even when we think there is no hope.  Hope is the golden cord connecting you to God. It’s the cord that helps you hold your head up high, even when multiple trials are pounding you. God will never leave our side and will never let go of our Hand if we have Hope in Him. Remember though this doesn’t mean will always turn out the way we think it will turn out. But without the cord of Hope, our head may slump and our feet will shuffle along the journey of life. Hope will lift our perspective for our weary feet to the glorious view we can see from the high road.  Hope can and will remind us that we are traveling together with Christ. When we consider our destination in Christ, the roughness or smoothness of the road ahead become less significant.
