Bible Verses on Hope. Friday recipe included 5/10/2013

Happy Friday,

Coffee today????? I will let you guess which one I made today from the Door County Coffee Company.
There are many today that are facing life situations and there seems to be no hope. Today I wish to share some verses that are found in God's Word that express hope. You are loved and important to God, others and me!

Job11:18
18 You will be secure, because there is hope;
you will look about you and take your rest in safety.
Psalm 25:2-3-6
2 In you I trust, O my God. Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me. 3 No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse.4 Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; 5 guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. 6 Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.
Psalm 31:24
24 Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.
Psalm 33:20
20 We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.
Psalm 33:22
22 May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you.
Psalm 39:7
7 "But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope is in you.
Psalm 42:11
11 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
Psalm 62:5
5 Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.
Psalm 65:5
5 You answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas

I hope this helps someone. Pass it on.

God bless,
