Tuesday's Gift ~ Hope

Hope. 
 
Hope in the Lifting Up.

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
For the Lord upholds him with His hand. ~Psalm 37:24

Survive.

Hope in the Assurance of our God.
 

Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God. ~Psalm 42:11

Turn your face unto the LORD.

Hope in the LORD as my God and My Ultimate Help in all circumstances.
 

Happy are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
    whose hope is in the Lord their God, ~ Psalm 146:5

Stretch.

Hope is a gift given by our LORD himself to encourage us on this journey called LIFE.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and through grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope, comfort your hearts and strengthen them in every good work and word. ~ 2 Thessalonians 2: 16-17

Every Good Work

We must only Seize Hope as we accept Christ as our Savior...

...we who have taken refuge might be strongly encouraged to seize the hope set before us. We have this hope, a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters the inner shrine behind the curtain, where Jesus, a forerunner on our behalf, has entered, having become a high priest forever... ~Hebrews 6: 18b-20a

Anchored Safely

I am Thankful for the Gift of Hope, an anchor for my soul to rest upon.

Always Blessed,
Gretchen :)
