A Living Hope

Renewal & Hope

Scripture
Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing.
Isaiah 43:18-19 (KJV)

Reflection

Renewal begins in the secret place with God. Isaiah 43:18-19 tells us, "Remember ye not the former things, neither…" The world's strength runs out; His does not. When you feel emptied, the answer is not to push harder but to draw nearer. Sit with the Lord today, even briefly, and let Him do for you what you cannot do for yourself. He restores. He lifts. He refills. Hope is not the absence of weariness; it is the presence of God in the middle of it. Trust Him with the slow work of renewal in your soul.

Prayer

Father, You are the God of hope. Fill me with joy and peace as I trust You, and let hope rise in me. Amen.

Thought for the Day

Where do I need God to renew my heart?
