Thoughts on Today's Verse...

When all the clutter is stripped away, what is your real hope?
When you push aside the diplomas, awards, accolades, and honors, what is the basis of your significance?
Only one source for hope and only one basis of significance is trustworthy. Only One endures forever! Only our Father in heaven guarantees that the significance of our life endures. So let's place our hope in the Lord. Let's see him as our refuge. Let's trust that he will deliver us because he is righteous and we have placed our hopes in him.

My Prayer...

O Lord, God and Redeemer of our Fathers, Keeper of your many promises, thank you for allowing us to place our hope, future, and significance in your hands. Please give us the courage and the confidence to know that you will not let us be put to shame, but will share with us your righteousness and claim us as your special possession on that day when we stand in your presence in glory. In Jesus' name, we anticipate that day as we pray. Amen.
