hope in a tree

For there is hope for a tree, when it is cut down, that it will grow again, and that its branches will not stop growing.
- Job 14:7 (NLV)

 

The last few months have been rough for my friends and family.
We have had some very crazy things happening, things that have cut us down pretty far.
There are days that some of us have nearly (or completely) lost hope. 
I have a friend that is attending a Bible study on Job, Finding the Joy in Job, and from what little she told me, it seems like a good study.
Of all the people who have had bad luck, Job certainly had more than his share, but he never lost hope.
There is an old saying about when you hit rock bottom the only place to go is up.
It's a great saying if you don’t get trampled on the bottom! 
But this verse . . . this verse should remind us that as children of God, we have hope.
We are like a tree, we can get cut down, we can lose branches in the wind. 
But if we have God, we have hope, and we will grow again.
