What is your hope, and what do you think about your future? At times, your heart may refuse to believe that you have a future, and the world may say you are doomed, that you will never prosper; you will never pass; you will never rise up. But Proverbs 10:28 says, “The hope of the righteous brings joy,” and God wants you to have joy about your future. David says that his life is in the hands of the Lord, and your life, too, is held not by your breath or your wisdom or the favour of people, but by God Himself. You are God's child, and greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. Even if you fall seven times, you will rise, and the Lord says you are under His life and resurrection. Even if you die, He will raise you up. He will raise your business, your health, your holiness, your children, your family, your spiritual power, your ministry, and your finances. God gives you a joyful hope for the future because you belong to Jesus, who is the life and the resurrection, so walk into this day and into your life with joy.

What is your hope? According to I Peter 1:3, our hope is in the resurrection of Jesus, for He gives us new birth and makes everything new while the old passes away. When facing problems, we say that God will turn everything to good and in the same place where we experienced shame, He will give praise and honour. He will restore everything in double measure, giving a double portion of honour, and this blessing will come upon you in the name of Jesus. Psalm 16:11 says, “You will have the path of life, not the path of destruction or loss, and He will fill you with joy in His presence.” Everything will come alive as you remain in His presence. Never fear and never allow fear, because the joy of His presence will lift you up.

Romans 5:2 says, “His grace will lift you up, not by your righteousness but by His mercy and grace, and you will boast in the hope of the glory of God.” May God give you this blessing in the name of Jesus. This is your hope, so be filled with the joy of His presence.

Loving Lord, thank You for being my living hope. You hold my future in Your mighty hands. Please lift me up from every fall and fear. Fill my heart with the joy of Your presence. Make all things new in my life by Your resurrection power. Please turn my shame into honour and restore me in double measure. Strengthen my faith to trust in Your plans for my future.
