Day 13 of 30 · 30 Days of Hope

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched; the flames will not set you ablaze.

For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place.

Because you are precious and honored in My sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you and nations in place of your life.

CONTEXT

Original word: וְלֶהָבָ֖ה (lehâbâh) · {a flash; figuratively, a sharply polished blade or point of aweapon}

REFLECTION

Hope is often a practice before it is a feeling. Isaiah 43:2 invites you to wait, trust and remember.

PRAYER

Lord, I bring you what feels heavy today. Teach me to hope in you, not in my circumstances. Amen.

QUESTION

Where do you need hope today?

ONE ACTION TODAY

Pray for someone you know who is going through a hard season.

Reflections are drafts awaiting pastoral review.
