Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God’s promises to be fulfilled. ~ Romans 15:4 (NLT)
KEY IDEA:
We can wait patiently because we can count on God to keep his word.PRAYER:
Thank you, Lord, for being faithful and keeping your promises. Still, I worry about the future because I see how much evil there is in the present. I get discouraged and let hope slip away. I need to stop doing that and to focus more on your faithfulness. Help me to do that. I'm going to find hope and encouragement in the scriptures. Amen.
