2 Kings 25:1-30; Ezekiel 1:1-28; 2 Timothy 2:1-26
Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord. Psalm 31:24
The believer has “hope…as an anchor of the soul” (Heb. 6:19). Even though we are living in uncertain times, our hope stands fast. As the Psalmist reminds us three times in Psalms 42 and 43—our hope is in the Lord. So there is no reason to be cast down or disquieted. He is our help and health! —Wm. H. Gustafson
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 Mote
