Blessed Hope

What a disaster to run out of toilet paper!  It's happened here a few times, but not many.  The weekend Bill & I returned from our honeymoon, I happened to be the one to discover what we forgot on our first trip to the grocery store.  I "sat" patiently [and humbly] while Mr. Bill went to the store for that roll of gold!

What if we had limited hope?  We can rejoice God made certain this never happens. Lamentations 3:21-23 says, "This I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord's great love, we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning." No reason to panic.  No call to pressure.  The Believer’s Hope is secure in Christ Jesus and God’s promises never change nor fail.  It's hope (a confident expectation) beyond anything promised in this world.  Yes, it’s blessed hope!

We need never run out of hope, because You never run out of mercy.
What strength it gives what peace it lends to know that whatever this day may hold
Your promises stand, unchanging and unfailing, and however this day may end
Your love will greet another sunrise.
