My Hope

After my father went to Heaven in 2010, I bought a ring with the word "hope" engraved 1on it, because I did not want to forget that my hope is in the Lord and in the fact that He has promised me a home in Heaven and a reunion with my earthly Father one day.  I am thankful for all the reminders in scripture (here are just a few):

Psalm 33:20-We wait in hope for the Lord, he is our help and our shield.

Psalm 147:11-the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.

Psalm 146:5-Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord their God.

Lamentations 3:25- The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him.

1 Peter 1:3-Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!  In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

Also glad for the reminders in Song:

Thank You God that you did not leave us here hopeless, but that You are our Hope!!
