The world feels like it’s changing faster than w The world feels like it’s changing faster than we can keep up with, but we have a steady and brilliant hope. ✨🕯️ Our faith in Jesus points us to the future Kingdom and gives us opportunities to shine His light right now. Here are a few verses that encourage me in my daily walk. ✨📖🙌 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalm 139:14, 16🩵 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13🦅 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
