Psalm 146

Praise ye the LORD.

Praise the LORD,

O my soul.

While I live will I praise the LORD:

I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

Put not your trust in princes,

nor in the son of man,

in whom there is no help.

His breath goeth forth,

he returneth to his earth;

in that very day his thoughts perish.

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,

whose hope is in the LORD his God:

Which made heaven,

and earth,

the sea,

and all that therein is:

which keepeth truth for ever:

Which executeth judgment for the oppressed:

which giveth food to the hungry.

The LORD looseth the prisoners:

The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind:

the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down:

the LORD loveth the righteous:

The LORD preserveth the strangers;

he relieveth the fatherless and widow:

but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

The LORD shall reign for ever,

even thy God,

O Zion,

unto all generations.

Praise ye the LORD

Failure will hurt but not hinder us…

Sorrows will shake us but not break us.

Hope will set the music ringing and quicken our lagging pace.

We need hope for living …

Hope tightens the cords and tunes up the heart-strings.

Work well, then;

suffer patiently,

rejoicing in hope.

God knows all,

and yet is the God of Hope.

And when we have hoped to the end here,

He will give us something to look forward to,

for all eternity.

For “hope abideth.”

 were written for our learning,

that we through patience

and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

Hope is a candle that will illuminate your way down a dark pathway.

 It is believing for a positive outcome knowing that God’s word is true.

 Hope expects their desire to be fulfilled.

 It doesn’t give up.

 Hope is what keeps a person going

believing everything is going to work out,

come what may.

fill you with all joy and peace in believing,

that ye may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Titus 2:13

Looking for that blessed hope,

and the glorious appearing

of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

Titus 3:7                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           That being justified by his grace,

we should be made heirs

according to the hope of eternal life.

to shew unto the heirs of promise

the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

That by two immutable things,

in which it was impossible for God to lie,

we might have a strong consolation,

who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul,

both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

There are  no hopeless situations;

there are only people

who have grown hopeless about them.

we are of all men most miserable.

We have HOPE because of JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR!
