Come Back

Come back to the place of safety, all you prisoners who still have hope! I promise this very day that I will repay two blessings for each of your troubles. — Zechariah 9:12 (NLT) If you have strayed away from ABBA Father come back home. Take refuge in Him. “Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD. (Jeremiah 17:7 NKJV) I love you, LORD; you are my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety. (Psalms 18:1-2 NLT)  But as for me, I will sing about your power. Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love. For you have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress. O my Strength, to you I sing praises, for you, O God, are my refuge, the God who shows me unfailing love. (Psalms 59:16-17 NLT)

Hope in the LORD

“Show me the right path, O LORD; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.” — Psalms 25:4-5 (NLT)  “...blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence. ”  (Jeremiah 17:7 NLT) “The LORD is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray. He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way. The LORD leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep his covenant and obey his demands.” (Psalms 25:8-10 NLT) And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you. (Psalms 39:7 NLT) Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone. (Psalms 33:22 NLT)

Rejoice!

“This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.” — Psalms 118:24 (NLT) Each and every day that Yahweh wakes us up, we have a good reason to rejoice. “We put our hope in the LORD. He is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.” (Psalms 33:20-21 NLT) Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous ones; And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart. (Psalms 32:11 NASB1995) …“Go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks, and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared. This is a sacred day before our Lord. Don’t be dejected and sad, for the joy of the LORD is your strength!” (Nehemiah 8:10 NLT)   “Be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life . Let your joy overflow!”  — Philippians 4:4 (TPT)

He Knows

Image
“For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.” — Jeremiah 29:11 (NASB1995) ABBA Father knows the plans. That is such a powerful and liberating fact. The GOD Most High knows . We do not. We don’t have to waste time and energy trying to figure it out. Nothing that happens on this earth, is a surprise to the LORD God Almighty. He had all our days written in His book before we even drew our first breath. (See Psalms 139:16) Our part is walk faithfully with Him, following Him as the Holy Spirit leads us. We must walk by faith, not by sight. (See 2 Corinthians 5:7) May we have the faith to take the steps as He reveals the way. Faith to run when He says run, faith to walk when He says walk. Faith to move when He says to move and faith to be still when He says: “be still.”  Even when disaster strikes, keep your trust in our mighty GOD. And take refuge in the shadow of His wings until the calamities h...

Renew Your Hope

Image
“So each generation should set its hope anew on God, not forgetting his glorious miracles and obeying his commands.” — Psalms 78:7 (NLT) From one man God created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries. (See Acts 17:26 NLT) The people of this generation are here for such a time as this. No matter what current circumstances may be, let us set our hope anew on Yahweh. He is faithful to equip us with all we need for doing His will. Keep on hoping for His help and praise Him more and more. (See Psalms 71:14 NLT) Oh, love the LORD, all you His saints! For the LORD preserves the faithful, and fully repays the proud person. Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the LORD. (Psalms 31:23-24 NKJV)

The Right Path

Image
Show me the right path, O LORD; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you. — Psalms 25:4-5 (NLT) The LORD is good and does what is right; he shows the proper path to those who go astray. He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them his way. The LORD leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep his covenant and obey his demands. (Psalms 25:8-10) He renews our strength. He guides us along right paths, bringing honor to his name. (See Psalms 23:3) May we be humble and teachable. Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the LORD and turn away from evil. (Proverbs 3:5-7) The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” — Psalms 32:8 (NLT)

Trust and Hope in the LORD

Image
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit.” — Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NKJV) No matter what season of life you are going through, keep trusting in Yahweh. And keep your hope in Him alive. People may fail you, but our God is faithful and His love never fails. We can always rely on Yahweh to be with us and to deliver us out of all our troubles.

Our Hope & Our Help

Image
“ We put our hope in the LORD. He is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone. ” — Psalms 33:20-22 (NLT) Sing for joy in Yahweh, O righteous ones; Praise is becoming to the upright. (Psalms 33:1 LSB) He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the lovingkindness of Yahweh. (Psalms 33:5 LSB) …the LORD’s plans stand firm forever; his intentions can never be shaken. (See Psalms 33:11 NLT) Human strength and the weapons of man are false hopes for victory; they may seem mighty, but they will always disappoint. (Psalms 33:17 TPT) But the LORD watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love. He rescues them from death and keeps them alive in times of famine. (Psalms 33:18-19 NLT) The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even foreverm...

Put Your Hope in Him

Make me know Your ways, O Yahweh; Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; In You I hope all the day. — Psalms 25:4-5 (LSB) No matter what you are going through, keep your hope in the living, all-powerful Almighty GOD.

New Every Morning

Image
“ This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. The LORD’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. ” — Lamentations 3:21-23 (NASB1995) It is through the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed. He is a gracious and merciful GOD, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness. The Word says: His compassions NEVER fail. They are fresh and brand new every single morning. At the dawn of each new day, let us have hope as we remember the lovingkindness of Yahweh is being poured out upon us. Even when we are not faithful, He remains faithful. His loyal and unfailing love endures forever. May we declare His lovingkindness in the morning, and His faithfulness every night. (See Psalms 92:2 NKJV) Keep your hope in Him alive and expect great things from our Mighty GOD. I tell my soul, “Yahweh is my abundant portion. I need nothing more. So, I will put all my hope in him.” (Lamentations 3:24 TPT)  The LORD has...

A Gift from God

Image
“God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.” — Ephesians 2:8 (NLT) Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. (Ephesians 2:1 NLT) All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else. (Ephesians 2:3 NLT) In those days you were living apart from Christ. You lived in this world without God and without hope. (See Ephesians 2:12) But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!) (Ephesians 2:4-5 NLT) But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ.” (Ephesians 2:13 NLT) Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now...

He Rescues

Image
The next day as we were being violently storm-tossed, they began to jettison the cargo; and on the third day they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands. Since neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm was assailing us, from then on all hope of our being saved was gradually abandoned.   — Acts 27:18-20 (NASB1995) When the storms of life seem to go on and on, do not lose hope. The LORD hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. (Psalms 34:17 NLT) In Isaiah 43:2 (NLT), the LORD says: “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.” You may experience some loss in the midst of the storm. There may be some things you need to get rid of to lighten your load, but the LORD will rescue you. (See Psalms 34:19)

Have Hope

Image
For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope and overflow with confidence in His promises. — Romans 15:4 (AMP) Psalms 119:114 (NLT) says, His word is our source of hope. May we search the Holy Scriptures daily and be encouraged and filled with hope, knowing that Yahweh fulfills every promise He has made. “So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. It leads us through the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary.” (Hebrews 6:18-19 NLT) I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. — Roman...

Let Us Rejoice

Image
“This is the day which Yahweh has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.” — Psalms 118:24 (LSB)  Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! (Philippians 4:4 NASB) For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. (Ecclesiastes 3:1 NLT) No matter what season you are going through, you can rejoice because Yahweh is with you, and He will bring you through. Every day of your life was recorded in His book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. (See Psalms 139:16 NLT) So, He knows the plans He has for you. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. (See Jeremiah 29:11 NLT) I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love, for you have seen my troubles, and you care about the anguish of my soul. You have not handed me over to my enemies but have set me in a safe place. — Psalms 31:7-8 (NLT)

Rejoicing in Hope

Image
constantly rejoicing in hope [because of our confidence in Christ], steadfast and patient in distress, devoted to prayer [continually seeking wisdom, guidance, and strength], — Romans 12:12 (AMP) Let us constantly rejoice in the hope we have in Christ. This hope [this confident assurance] we have as an anchor of the soul [it cannot slip and it cannot break down under whatever pressure bears upon it]—a safe and steadfast hope that enters within the veil [of the heavenly temple, that most Holy Place in which the very presence of God dwells], (Hebrews 6:19 AMP) Don't drift and have no doubt, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. (See James 1:6) Cling to your faith in Christ, and keep your conscience clear. For some people have deliberately violated their consciences; as a result, their faith has been shipwrecked. (1 Timothy 1:19 NLT) Continually seek God's wisdom and guidance and draw your strength from Him.

Remember God

Image
Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God! Now I am deeply discouraged, but I will remember you…  — Psalms 42:5-6a (NLT) We get anxious, fearful and discouraged when we forget about God, His greatness and His goodness. We do not have to be afraid or discouraged. Remember Yahweh. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. (See Joshua 1:9 NLT) He is on your side and nothing is too difficult for Him. He is a shield about you, your glory, and the One who lifts your head. (See Psalms 3:3 NASB1995) Put your hope in God and continue to praise Him. …the LORD’s delight is in those who fear him, those who put their hope in his unfailing love. (Psalms 147:11 NLT) My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me. O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.  Interlude — Psalms 62:7-8 (NLT)

Count on the LORD

Image
I am counting on the LORD; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word. I long for the Lord more than sentries long for the dawn, yes, more than sentries long for the dawn. — Psalms 130:5-6 (NLT) No matter how circumstances may appear, we can always count on the LORD, our God. He is great, and there is no God besides Him. Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV) Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. (Hebrews 3:12 NASB1995) May our hearts deeply long for more of Yahweh. O LORD of hosts, how blessed and greatly favored is the man who trusts in You [believing in You, relying on You, and committing himself to You with confident hope and expectation]. — Psalms 84:12 (AMP)

He Knows the Plans

Image
“People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then are angry at the LORD.” — Proverbs 19:3 (NLT) Many lives are ruined because people choose “to do their own thing” instead of seeking and yielding to the will of our heavenly Father, Who created us and knows the plans He has for us. His plans are for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give us a future and a hope. (See Jeremiah 29:11 AMP) “You can make many plans, but the LORD’s purpose will prevail.” (Proverbs 19:21 NLT) “No human wisdom or understanding or plan can stand against the LORD.” (Proverbs 21:30 NLT) Second Samuel 22:29 (NKJV) says: “…You are my lamp, O LORD; The LORD shall enlighten my darkness.” When we walk in the light, with Him, He will show us the right path to take. The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” — Psalms 32:8 (NLT)

Hope in Him Alone

Image
We put our hope in the LORD. He is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone. — Psalms 33:20-22 (NLT) I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love, for you have seen my troubles, and you care about the anguish of my soul. You have not handed me over to my enemies but have set me in a safe place. (Psalms 31:7-8) Love the LORD, all you godly ones! For the LORD protects those who are loyal to him, but he harshly punishes the arrogant. So be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the LORD! (Psalms 31:23-24) I entrust my spirit into your hand. Rescue me, LORD, for you are a faithful God. (Psalms 31:5) ...joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the LORD their God. (Psalms 146:5) ...I am confident I will see the LORD’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living. — Psalms 27:13 (NLT)

Hope in Him

Image
“The LORD is my portion and my inheritance,” says my soul; “Therefore I have hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him.” The LORD is good to those who wait [confidently] for Him, to those who seek Him [on the authority of God’s word]. It is good that one waits quietly for the salvation of the LORD. — Lamentations 3:24-26 (AMP) Yahweh is our eternal inheritance. He is all we need. Keep your hope in Him. Yahweh is always good to all who trust in him, to the soul who searches for him. (Lamentations 3:25 TPT) For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. (See 2 Chronicles 16:9 NKJV) Wait quietly, no whining, grumbling, nor complaining. Wait expectantly for the LORD to show Himself strong on your behalf.  I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living. Hope in Yahweh; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Hope in Yahweh. (...
