Day 26 of 30 · 30 Days of Hope

For surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.

Listen, my son, and be wise, and guide your heart on the right course.

Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat.

CONTEXT

Original word: וְ֝תִקְוָתְךָ֗ (tiqvâh) · literally a cord (as an attachment); figuratively, expectancy

REFLECTION

Faithful God, thank you for your promises. Help me to hold on to them when I cannot see the way. Amen.
