Day 8 of this daily devotional focuses on hope for tomorrow through Psalm 42:5, Jeremiah 29:11, and Romans 15:13. Have you ever felt stuck in a pit, looking up at everyone else who seemed to have their lives figured out? The psalmist knows that feeling — he has an honest conversation with his own soul, acknowledging the downcast feeling while choosing hope anyway. Hope isn't always an emotion; sometimes it's a decision. Jeremiah delivered his famous words about God's plans to people in exile, their city destroyed and temple gone. And Paul calls God 'the God of hope,' praying that we would overflow with hope — not wishful thinking, but hope rooted in the character of a God who specializes in resurrection. Your current chapter isn't your final chapter. This morning devotional includes Scripture reading, reflection, and prayer. From 3 Verses a Day, a daily Christian devotional podcast by Mark Ross Junkans.
