Jesus Turns Your ‘Hopeless End’ Into ‘Endless Hope'

2 Corinthians 1:9-10

God works in your life according to your expectation.

The apostle Paul knew this.

At some point in life, you’ll reach a dead end—when you see no hope from a human perspective.

But your dead end has a purpose: to teach you to trust in God.

Sometimes life seems so bad and out of control.

Why does God let that happen?

So you can learn to trust in him instead of trusting in your own ingenuity and cleverness.

Here’s what’s true: God has delivered you in the past, he’s likely delivering you from circumstances now, and he will deliver you in the future.

God uses three different kinds of deliverance:

Sometimes God miraculously alters the circumstance, and the Red Sea splits.

That will happen many times in your life, but it’s not going to happen all the time.

Instead of changing the circumstance, God changes you from the inside.

You get a new dream, a new vision, a new attitude, and a new perspective.

God has not promised to remove all your pain in this world or solve every one of your problems.

On Earth, there is pain, sorrow, and suffering.

The ultimate deliverance will be one day in heaven, where there will be no pain, no sorrow, no suffering, and no heartache.

John 14:6

When you’re at a dead end, Jesus can take that hopeless end and turn it into an endless hope.

Are you at a dead end?

I invite you to take that dead-end situation and your own life and give them to Jesus Christ.

Jesus always looks out for your best interests.

Talk It Over

In what ways have you experienced God’s deliverance in the past?

No matter what phase of faith you are in right now, what are you expecting God to do in your life?

How does trusting your life to Jesus Christ change the way you face a difficulty or dead end in your journey of faith?

How to find deliverance through Jesus

God’s ultimate deliverance from dead ends is through an eternity in heaven—and that only comes when you’ve put your faith in Jesus.

John 3:16
