It is impossible to have true gratitude in our hearts to God, then go on grumbling and griping. They Are Hopeful Pleasant words will also be hopeful, not preoccupied with the gloomy side of life but anticipating God's best. If there is one thing the child of God should have, it is hope. We know a God who controls all things and who promises to work everything together for good. He plans for our well-being and promises us a bright future.
Believers can anticipate the very best.
But you would never know it to hear some of them talk. And we haven't seen anything yet. They're going to get worse. And they can give you all the facts and statistics to prove that they are going to get worse. They have appointed themselves as official bearers of bad tidings, and they proceed to infect the Body of Christ with their pessimism and despair.
