Need a Little HOPE Today?

Need a little HOPE today?


Hook yourself up to the IV of God’s Word. Let His Word infuse through your veins and give you the hope you need for today and all of your tomorrows. Romans 15:4: “For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” His Word is our life line to Him. He speaks to us through His Word and today, He’s offering hope. Hope that is more than just a wish, but hope that can be based on confident expectation that He is a faithful God who will do all that He says He will do. Let the truths of His Word flow through you so they become more than just words on a page, but your very life and breath.


Remember there was a time when you were separate from Christ...without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ. (Ephesians 2:12-12) How good is that? There was a time when we were totally, helplessly lost, deader than dead, but He chose us and redeemed us and now through the cross, we have been made heirs of God, His very children. That is hope, hope for today and tomorrow. Trust in Him and in his Word, there you will find hope.


Romans 15:13: Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.


Hebrews 10:32: Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;


I Peter 1:3: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,


I Peter 3:15: but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;


Psalm 130:5: I wait for the Lord, my soul does wait, And in His word do I hope


Lamentations 3:21-25: Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him." The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;

2 Corinthians 6:2
AT THE RIGHT TIME I LISTENED TO YOU, AND ON THE DAY OF SALVATION I HELPED YOU. Behold, now is "THE RIGHT TIME," behold, now is "THE DAY OF SALVATION"

Whatever is true...think on these things said...

"...this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, (context: 2 Corinthians 1)

I love the words you used, "hope is more then a wish....but a confident expectation!" Praise God. That is what our world needs to hear! Praise you Jesus, YOU are our only hope
