God of Hope

A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold (Proverbs 22:1).

Wisdom is shown to be right by the lives of those who follow it (Luke 7: 35).

Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves (Romans 12:3). Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too (Philippians 2:3-4).

Upright citizens are good for a city and make it prosper (Proverbs 11:11).

A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls (Proverbs 25:28).

We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance (Romans 5:3).

Pay to all what is due them . . .  respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor (Romans 13:7).

Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise (Hebrews 10:23).

For the Scriptures say, “If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies (1 Peter 3:10).

As a face is reflected in water, so the heart reflects the real person . . .. A glad heart makes a happy face. (Proverbs 27:19; 15:13)

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you… [P]rove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom. (James 1:5, 3:1;13)

Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people (Colossians 3:23).
