Bible verses about finding hope in God

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-14-26

by

Psalm 121:1-2 (LSB) 1 I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come? 2 My help comes from Yahweh, Who made heaven and earth.

This life we live in human skin is challenging in many ways.

We may often think that it would be nice if life was always smooth sailing; trouble-free with no challenges or problems.

But as we all know, this isn’t the case.

Things happen. Difficulties arise.

Trials can come our way that may even cause us to question why God allows them to happen.

Some of those situations will test our faith.

We might wonder if we will make it through whatever thing we may be facing at this moment.

So where do we go for help?

In whom do we place our trust?

What foundation can we stand on that will uphold us and not forsake us?

God alone is that Foundation. It is in Him that we can trust and not be betrayed or forsaken.

Over the last couple of weeks, you may have noticed that we have sprinkled a batch of devotionals written strictly based on various Psalms.

We did this to bring hope, encouragement, and strength to those of you who are facing battles, trials, or struggles of various kinds.

It is our prayer that God has used them to bring you hope where you felt there was none, light where it seemed only darkness existed, and strength when you were at your weakest.

We love you all immensely ❤️

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-10-26

by

Psalm 27:14 (LSB) 14 Hope in Yahweh; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Hope in Yahweh.

Living with our hope rooted firmly in God isn’t always easy.

In fact, sometimes it can be downright difficult, and even gut-wrenching.

Our choice to trust God despite what we may be seeing with our eyes is one that forces us to live not by what we see, but Who we know and trust.

And His ways don’t always line up with what we might envision in our minds.

His methods may not make sense.

His answers may not always be the answers we were expecting.

And His timing may be drastically different than what we think we need.

But as these words above were penned, they were expressing absolute hope and trust in God while staring enemies and obstacles square in the face and holding firmly to the fact that God is sovereign in all things.

His strength never fails. He is trustworthy beyond our human understanding.

It is this that causes us to have hope that we can hold onto in the face of incredible adversity.

And it is this that causes us to have resilience beyond what we might think humans can endure.

Why?

Because when our hope, trust, and strength are found in Him, there is nothing more powerful than this.

Be strong and let your heart take courage; Hope in Yahweh 🙏🏻

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-26-26

by

Romans 15:13 (LSB) 13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Are you losing hope?

Have the battles in your life worn you down?

Does it sometimes feel like victory is just beyond your reach?

We all deal with this from time to time. Life can hurl some major obstacles at us at times.

And some seasons can be hard to bear, especially if we look at them only through human eyes.

But we have a message for you today.

We serve the God of hope!

God is not the source of doubt.

He is the God of joy.

He is not the source of chaos.

He is the God of peace.

The enemy, the father of lies, whispers in our ear in an effort to destroy our faith and trust in God.

But who will we believe? Whose voice will we listen to?

You see, that choice is ours to make. No one can make it for us.

We can choose truth, hope, joy, and peace. Or we can choose doubt, fear, and chaos.

The choice is ours. Let us choose wisely 🙏🏻

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-20-26

by

Romans 15:13 (NKJV) 13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Sometimes it’s hard to remain hopeful. Everything around us seems to work to bring us down; to exhaust us and cause us to reach a point of throwing in the towel and giving up.

Someone out there today needs hope. You are tired from the fight, and you are about to let go.

What if I were to tell you that if you ask God for the power of the Holy Spirit to be poured out upon you and give you that hope you need to get you through the rest of this season, He will come in like a mighty rushing wind and fill your heart with all joy, peace and hope to get you through this season that you’re currently in.

Give God a shout out…

Dear God,

My fight is getting harder. My body is getting weaker, and I need your hope to fill me and keep me standing.

Lord, Jesus, I’m asking You today. Please fill me with the power of the Holy Spirit, that I may finish this race and cross the finish line.

Thank you, Lord. For I know that You are faithful!

In the name of Jesus Christ I pray 🙏🏻

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-19-26

by

Romans 15:4 (LSB) 4 For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through the perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

We wrote on Wednesday about joy. Today we will write about hope.

Joy and hope are intertwined, and are a fruit of, studying God’s word and drawing near to Him.

It is in His word that we learn of Him.

And it is in learning of Him that we find hope.

The world we live in is a place full of hopelessness and desperation.

Depravity is all around us as morals decline and self takes center stage.

But in Him we find hope.

In Him, we find peace and solace.

And in Him, we find rest that cannot be found in the things of this world.

As the verse above clearly states, the encouragement of Scriptures brings hope to our lives.

This results in, and is strengthened by, drawing nearer to God.

Life’s traumas and difficulties are softened by God’s hand on our lives.

It is in being near to Him that we find our strength, not only to endure and persevere, but to find victory even in the strongest of storms.

So let us set aside the time each day to immerse ourselves in His word, and to build that relationship that is more important than any other.

And in these we will find hope.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-25-26

by

Psalm 119:114 (NKJV) 114 You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word.

In our devotional on Monday, we discussed the importance of hiding God’s Word in our hearts to help overcome in our lives as shared in Psalm 119:11.

Today, let’s look at another Psalm that encourages us to make God our “hiding place and shield”.

We face many obstacles in life; things can cause us to become fearful and hopeless if we allow them to.

But when we trust in God, He is our source of hope. Our hope is not found in our own ideas, or the suggestions of others who may try to help us when we are in times of need or desperation.

As we grow and mature in Christ, we learn that nothing can give us hope and reassurance like God does.

We begin to understand that He is our source of truth, understanding, and hope.

And, as we discussed on Monday, His Word brings understanding and encouragement to our hearts as we dedicate ourselves to learning it.

You see, as we spend that time reading and studying, He imparts truth into us, strengthening our spirits and fortifying the foundations of our faith.

And when we faithfully put in the time and effort to make this happen, the worries and fears that once stood as momentous obstacles in our lives become a distant memory of who we used to be and how we once lived.

Get His Word in your heart. Make Him your hiding place. And trust Him with everything about your life.

There is none like Him 🙏🏻

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-7-26

by

Revelation 16:1 (LSB) 1 Then I heard a loud voice from the sanctuary, saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”

As I have recently been working my way through the book of Revelation, through the lens of Biblical prophecy I have seen confirmation of the great depravity of the world.

Now, this could cause great anxiety or depression.

But I am a child of God, And I know that this is all part of what was spoken of through the prophets centuries ago as He revealed His plans, that we might not be ignorant.

I rest securely in Him. I have no fear or worries.

Instead, I have great hope!

Because I am a blood-bought follower of Christ, I know who wins in the end. I’ve read the Book, and we already know how the story ends.

Does the condition of humanity, and the massive presence of evil in the world bother me?

Of course it does. It is devastating to watch people around the globe descend into what can only be described as demon-inspired sin and utter depravity, ignorant to the destruction they are hurtling toward at breakneck speeds.

But I also know that the love of God, and the plans He has, are bigger and more powerful than anything the devil can scheme up.

So, we would like to encourage you today. Do not let the difficulties of the days we live in cause you to become distraught or fearful.

God is giving us glimpses of His light and His power.

Set your face like a flint and fix your eyes squarely on Him, the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

He truly holds the future in His hands.

And if you are His child, He holds you in those same hands.

Take comfort in Him and rest in His peace that surpasses all understanding.

Amen 🙏

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-13-24

by

Psalm 31:24 (NKJV) 24 Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the Lord.

Are you facing something extremely difficult right now?

Do you wake up in the morning with fear hanging over you, making you want to stay in bed?

Do you feel alone, like no one knows or cares about what you are facing?

Does it feel like you may not make it through this?

We want you to know that you are not alone.

You may be feeling less than optimistic, but God is bigger than the obstacle you are facing.

We realize that may sound cliche. But we promise you it is true.

We have also faced difficult challenges at times. We know how it feels to be flat on our backs, looking up and having no idea how we will overcome the obstacle before us.

But God is forever faithful. He does not change, and His arm is not short.

God’s infinite wisdom supersedes earthly troubles. His understanding transcends human intellect.

His solutions confound the most intelligent human minds. But those solutions are as solid as God Himself, our Rock and Redeemer.

So, as you walk through the trials and difficulties of life, lean on Him. Hold fast to Him. Let Him give you the strength to push through.

For it is in Him alone that we find our strength.

Psalm 27:1 (NKJV) 1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-21-23

by

John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Life is never perfect; not for any of us.

Some of us deal with some very hard things in our lives, and we don’t always find a solution for them.

Some of these things last a long time… years and years. For some, these things might even last for a majority of their lives.

People often question this and ask why these things happen. Why do some people suffer so much in their lives?

There are no perfect, happy-ever-after type answers for the questions that get asked when these kinds of situations are encountered.

Sometimes life is just hard, with situations that are hard to understand, and even harder to endure.

Sometimes these things happen as consequences for choices we have made. Other times, they happen by no fault of our own. They just happen.

But take note that Jesus told us in the verse above that trials and tribulations would come. None of us is exempt.

Does that mean we can’t ask God for help or wisdom about our situation? Absolutely not.

The best thing we can do if we are in these kinds of situations is understand that God is our rock and our fortress in everything that we face.

He is our source of peace and of hope.

He is our solace (comfort, consolation, cheer, support).

His joy is our strength.

We should be seeking Him every day, not just to ask Him how to get out of our situation, but also to ask Him what we can learn from it.

How can we bring glory to Him in the midst of the storm we are traveling through?

Let us grow while facing trials. Let us look to Him for His comfort and strength. And let us find our joy in Him, even as we push through times of great difficulty.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-2-22

by

Psalm 71:5 (NKJV) 5 For You are my hope, O Lord God; You are my trust from my youth.

During times of joy and happiness, and in seasons when everything seems to be “just right”, we don’t usually think much about hope.

We don’t really need to since everything is going well.

It’s only during less pleasant seasons that hope comes to mind.

So, when those tougher seasons happen, where does our hope lie?

Many will put their hope in different things. Most times that hope will be in the thing that is viewed as being the solution to bring the tough season we’re enduring to an end.

In reality, though, regardless of the season we are navigating, God is our only true source of hope.

Why does it seem so hard sometimes for us to understand this and hold tightly to God as our source of hope?

Most of the time this is due to our flesh not wanting to hold onto something or someone we can’t see and Who may not satisfy our intellect.

You see, our minds like to have something to hold onto that we can easily understand and explain.

But God blows that all apart because He doesn’t use human logic when He does something.

Dividing a body of water to allow a huge mass of people to pass through, providing water from a rock, speaking through a donkey, using a prostitute to save some of His people during a time of battle, raising a dead man from a grave, healing a blind man by spitting into dirt and rubbing mud on that man’s eyes; these are all things that God did.

Not even one of them makes sense to our human understanding.

And yet, this is the God we serve and Who loves us enough to send His son (God incarnate) to die for us.

That is true hope, found in the Creator of all that we see.

Hold onto Him and rejoice as He continues to confound the wise and baffle human understanding, drawing hope from Him no matter what season we’re in.
