For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
-- Romans 15:4
If the Bible is a love story, then its theme is hope.
No matter how dire my circumstances,
no matter how big are my enemies,
no matter how deep my sin,
no matter how lost I can get,
no matter how much I need
no matter how big the challenge,
no matter
The patience of the Old Testament heroes of faith provides strong encouragement for me as I struggle with many of the problems and situations which confront me every day.
... God repeatedly gives me reason to hope in a brighter tomorrow.
Then God brought the assurance of that tomorrow in Jesus!
Lord, please give me patience and endurance as I search your Scriptures to know and understand your truth. I am amazed at the incredible things you did to redeem and bless your people in the Old Testament. I am absolutely astonished at what you were able to do with Jesus and the bunch misfits he chose disciples. Please, O God, inspire my hope so that I will expect something great from your hand and then live to see you accomplish it in my day. May this, as well as all other things in my life, be to your honor and glory.
