God of Hope

Make it your goal to live a quiet life . . .  working with your hands, just as we instructed you before (1 Thessalonians 4:11).

The words of the godly encourage many, (Proverbs 10:21). Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them (Ephesians 4:29).

Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed (Proverbs 16:3). So, prepare your minds for action (1 Peter 1:13).

Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding. The life of the godly is full of light and joy (Proverbs 3:13; 13:9).

For you have been called to live in freedom . . .  But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love (Galatians 5:13).

Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do (Joshua 1:8).

God’s truth stands firm like a foundation stone . . . (2 Timothy 2:19). You must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it (Colossians 1:23). 

When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice. But when the wicked are in power, they groan (Proverbs 29:2).

The Lord detests the way of the wicked, but he loves those who pursue godliness (Proverbs 16:9),

The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams (Psalm 23:1-2).

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

In quietness and confidence [in God] is your strength (Isaiah 30:15).
