Hello and welcome to Pastor Rick's Daily Hope. We are so glad that you're here. You know, in this world,

we all go through trials and we experience losses, but the good news is that God is always with you,

and you can never lose his love. Stay tuned today as Rick continues his series called The Key to Hope. And right now,

let's join Rick with the final part of a message called how being anchored to God's Word is the

key to hope. Now, to live with hope when everything seems hopeless in the world, no matter what happens. I have to

anchor my identity in what God says about me, and I have to anchor my life mission in God's purpose

for me. Now what other people want me to do? Now what society wants me to do. Now what politics

wants me to do. Now what politics wants me to do,

now what my parents want me to do,

what God says, this is what I made you to do.

I anchor my purpose, my mission in my purpose.

Third, I must anchor my future to God's promises to me.

Because remember I said the third cause of hopelessness is an

uncertain future. Now, follow me on this. If you've ever bought an insurance policy, that policy

promises to cover certain things. You don't have to pay for it because the insurance

competency promises to pay for it.

Now, once you know what the policy covers, you don't sweat it.

You got a big hospital bill, insurance will pay for it.

Your car gets stings, insurance will pay for it.

You don't worry about what's covered in the promise.

There are 6,000 insurance promises to you from God in this book.

You don't even know them.
