The Word of God for wisdom:
Proverbs 27:5 (HCSB)
5 Better an open reprimand than concealed love.
The Word of God for inspiration:
Psalm 106:1 (HCSB)
1 Hallelujah! Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His faithful love endures forever.
The Word of God for encouragement:
Hebrews 6:9-12 (HCSB)
9 Even though we are speaking this way, dear friends, in your case we are confident of the better things connected with salvation.
10 For God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you showed for His name when you served the saints—and you continue to serve them.
11 Now we want each of you to demonstrate the same diligence for the final realization of your hope,
12 so that you won't become lazy but will be imitators of those who inherit the promises through faith and perseverance.
My observation:
One of the things that keeps hope alive in my life regardless of the circumstances I encounter is the hope that fills my heart, and it is this, "God is not unjust, and he is not forgetful". Friends will forget you, and fail you, but God will never do either.
If you are a child of God, you have the iron clad promise that what God says in his word he will do. God is trustworthy; a promise made is a promise kept.
Yes, life is hard, but God is good all the time, and all the time God is good. I know one who will agree, and he is David.
Psalm 37:25 (HCSB)
25 I have been young and now I am old, yet I have not seen the righteous abandoned or his children begging for bread.
Love for God and his children, hope in the promises of God, faith in God and the patience to wait on God will get you safely to the finish line. The word for today is perseverance; never give in, and never give up. God is faithful to the end; he is God on the mountain, and God in the valley.
My prayer:
Our Father in heaven, my dear Father, I am so grateful to you that the circumstances of life do not determine my destiny.
Father God, I am so blessed to know that I am in the hands of my Maker and my Keeper. Father, there is no place I would rather be than in the hands of my Lord and my God. In Jesus name, Amen.

1 Peter 5:7 (HCSB)
