I Need Hope

Tomorrow feels impossible. The future is a blank page and you can't find the pen. But hope isn't a feeling. It's a decision to believe that God is still writing even when you can't see the ink.

Scripture for this moment

Genesis 8:22

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Numbers 24:17

I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
