Henry Davenport 9:06 PM (9 hours ago) to bcc: me The Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love. ( Psalms 147:11 ) Our life would be pretty tough without hope! Alexander Pope (1688--1744) once said that "Hope Springs Eternal," and indeed it does for the children of our Heavenly Father. After all God provides our hope for it is written; For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you? Indeed, you are our glory and joy.( 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20 ) And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.(Romans 5:5 ) Remember the words of the Sons of Korah*, for they said: Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. ( Psalms 42:5 ) [ * Sons of Korah were temple musicians and assistants who wrote some of the Psalms ] Now this is because God has promised us; Then you will know that I am the Lord; those who hope in me will not be disappointed." ( Isaiah 49:23 ) So I pray that you will; Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord. ( Psalms 31:24 ) I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints. Amen. (Ephesians 1:18)
