God of Hope

Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many (Hebrews 9:27-28).

For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline (2 Timothy 1:7).

But by means of their suffering, he rescues those who suffer. For he gets their attention through adversity (Job 36:15). 

Choose a good reputation over great riches; being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold (Proverbs 22:1). 

You should remember the words of the Lord Jesus: “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35).

The heart of the godly thinks carefully before speaking. . . . The king is pleased with words from righteous lips; he loves those who speak honestly (Proverbs 15:28; 16:13).

May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you. . . . Joyful are people of integrity, who follow the instructions of the Lord (Psalm 25:21; 119:1).

He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy (Acts 14:17).

Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity (Proverbs 21:5).

Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. . . . And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:18; Ephesians 5:20).

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever (1 Chronicles 16:34).

And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God (Ecclesiastes 5:19).
