Today's Bible Promise - "The hope set before us" Heb. 6:18

Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us. Heb. 6:17-18

Prayer
There is always hope in the unfailing love of God. Lord Jesus, please speak to me this day with Your tender words of love. I come to You in humility for You are my hope and refuge whom I trust. Do not let one second go by without the sweetness of Your voice echoing through my heart. Help me to believe that no power or principality can change the truth of who You are and who You say I am. Fill me my heart with overflowing strength that I may learn to lay hold of the hope set before me. Remind me that Your faithfulness never fluctuates no matter if I am joyous, discouraged, or distressed. In Your wonderful name I pray.

ONLY BELIEVE
Has that trial in your life been going on so long
That everything in you screams, "This is so wrong."

You can't understand, it seems God is far away
As with tears you cry out to Him everyday,

If you read God's Word His truth you will see
That He has a job for you and a job for me,

ONLY BELIEVE! is what He has to say
At His feet this problem you must lay,

In His time and in His way
An answer to your problem will be there one day,

Keep on believing, don't lose hope
He'll give you His grace enabling you to cope,

Keep your eyes on Him as to Him you cleave
He has promised to never forsake you or to leave,

Give Him time to work it all out
The devil just wants you to worry and doubt,

Praising Him is one thing He's looking for
To bless you is what He has in store,

So no matter what, even when you don't understand
ONLY BELIEVE! that's what moves His hand.
