The Bible is full of words of God's promises. It is a treasury of words of hope. But when we turn our eyes to this world, we are bombarded with one word after another that discourages hope and upsets our hearts. Each time this happens, our spirit, soul, and body are flattered. When we shift our gaze from this world to heaven, where God's throne is located, we see that God's hope is always poured out on us.
