God of Hope

 “Up to this point the Lord has helped us!” (1 Samuel 7:12b)  Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you. (Psalm 37:5)

But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus (Acts 20:24).

No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way (Hebrews 12:11).

Send out your light and your truth; let them guide me. Let them lead me to your holy mountain, to the place where you live (Psalm 43:3).

For God … made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6).

A multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. ( Luke 2:14).

“. . . eternal life is the gift of God through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23b).

If you help the poor, you are lending to the Lord— and he will repay you (Proverbs 19:17). Your prayers and gifts to the poor have been received by God as an offering! (Acts 10:4)

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son (John 3:16).

For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. . . .  And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).

(Mary) will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins (Matthew 1:21).

Hard work brings rewards (Proverbs 12:14). It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them (Ephesians 5:18).
