Bible verses about finding hope

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 – 6-20-26

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 – 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 – 1-15-18

by

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

Our relationship with God gives us hope.

We serve a Creator who wants only the very best for us.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Sometimes we may not feel like there is any hope, especially when things just seem to go wrong again and again.

But, rest assured that this is just life and the things that happen to all of us from time to time.

As we have mentioned many times in the past, seasons come and go. And each season offers unique opportunities as well as unique challenges. It’s not the fact that challenges come that determines who we are. It’s how we handle them that matters.

It’s always easy to lay down and have ourselves a little pity party. But that will never help us or change anything for the better. It will do quite the opposite.

So, we say to you today, rise up! Shake off the sorrow and the discouragement. Look your challenges square in the face and claim the victory that Jesus has won for us on the cross.

Rebuke the devil, in the name of Jesus, and push forward.

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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-20-16

by

Hebrews 10:23 (NKJV) 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

Hope. It’s what our walk with God is based on. It’s what our eternity is based on. Without hope, our lives are pretty pointless. But with hope, our lives are meaningful, bountiful and beautiful!

Sometimes the situations we face can make us feel hopeless. Believe us when we tell you that we know from experience. We have been there.

But when we hold fast to our hope, and to the God and Father who gives us that hope, we come through those trying times with new faith, new hope and a bigger trust in God.

Lamentations 3:24 (NKJV) 24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!”

God is calling us to trust Him in everything. He wants us to have such hope and faith in Him that it permeates every aspect of our lives.

Does that mean that we will live like Christian superheroes, never making mistakes or never having a weak moment? Nope!

But it means that we will look to Him in everything that we do, every choice we have to make and every situation that we encounter.

Why? Because we understand that He is the one who gives us hope; that incredible hope that gives our lives meaning and gives our souls reassurance that somehow everything will work out, despite what our eyes see in the natural.

And as we continue to hold onto that hope, our lives will be transformed, one day at a time, so that this hope we speak of becomes the very foundation on which our lives are built.
