TAKE
HOLD OF HOPE
BREAD
17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all
its great strength it cannot save. 18 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on
those whose hope is in his unfailing love.
Psalms
33:17-18 (NIV)
5 Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from
him. 6 He
alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
Psalms
62:5-6 (NIV)
10 His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor
his delight in the legs of a man; 11 the
LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.
Psalms
147:10-11 (NIV)
11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the
LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a
future.”
Jeremiah
29:11 (NIV)
21 Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: 22 Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for
his compassions never fail. 23 They
are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 24 I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I
will wait for him.”
Lamentations
3:21-24 (NIV)

“It's
a promise that whatever you might be experiencing today is just one chapter in
a story that He is writing, and that story isn't over yet....extract the
precious from the worthless ...Life
has far more sticky situations than miraculous moments. As you encounter
challenges, difficulties, and setbacks, train your eyes to ‘extract the
precious.’ Train your ears to hear the promise. And train your heart to pursue
relentless hope.” Beth

“Hope, it is exquisitely fragile and it is an exceptional force and it is essential to faith and you can’t afford to lose it. Lose your fears but never your hope.” Ann Voskamp
