DAILY?READINGS: 2 Samuel 14; Zephaniah 2; Galatians 2
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. Jeremiah 17:7
The bumper sticker read: Know God – Know Hope. No God – No Hope. Exactly right! It is no accident that hope is closely linked to God. In Romans 15:13, He is called the God of hope, “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing that ye may abound in hope.” There is nothing vague in the Christian’s hope—it is an anchor of the soul, sure and steadfast. To know God is to know hope, but without God, there is no hope. —Robert Gentile
My hope is built on nothing less,
Than Jesus blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame.
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name. —Edward Mole
