Hope Filled Scripture
My wife, Gina, was the research assistant for the following Hope Scriptures. She was working on this compilation at a lake house loaned to us for this writing purpose. I saw her with her Bible open alongside hard copy pages of verses that she had typed.
I asked Gina why she didn’t just use Bible Gateway to copy and paste the references. She looked up at me (as only Gina can) and said, “Because each time I retype these scriptures, Charlie, they get deeper inside of me.” Then without breaking eye contact, she verbally recited the last four verses she had typed.
There are no shortcuts to discipleship. It is indeed a “long obedience in the same direction.” This Treasury of Hope Scriptures is courtesy of Gina’s discipleship. They are not typed here for your convenience but for your discipleship. I encourage you to rewrite or retype them so they get deeper inside of you.
Let us hold unswervingly the Hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.

But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose Hope is in his unfailing love. We wait in Hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. In Him our hearts rejoice for we trust in His holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us O Lord even as we put our Hope in you.

For in this Hope we were saved. But Hope that is seen is no Hope at all. Who Hopes for what he already has? But if we Hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. (Romans 8:24-25)
God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the Hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged.

Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their Hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their Hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
