hope for today

Just wanted to share with you what it says inside my new Hope For Today Bible that I received from Joel Osteen’s Ministry.

Dear Friend,

What you hold in your hand is more than just a good book; it is without question the most valuable possession you will ever own and the best gift you could ever receive or share with someone.

These pages are filled with the promise, the hope, and the power to live the abundant life that Jesus came to give. Proverbs 10:28 tells us that “the hopes of the godly result in happiness.” We believe wholeheartedly that hope in the Word of God is the very foundation for a well-lived, happy, prosperous, and fulfilled life.

What does it mean to have hope in the Word of God? It means that no matter what you may be facing, no matter where you may have been, no matter what anyone may have said, you can live in victory because you have a promise from Almighty God. Are you facing difficult times today? You can have hope because God promises that the path of the righteous shines brighter and brighter (Proverbs 4:18). Do you have a need in any area of your life? You can have hope because God promises to restore you and fulfill the desires He has placed in your heart (Psalm 37:4). You can have hope for today and every day because God promises that His plans for you are good – to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).

As you make time to consistently read and study His Word, hope will be ignited in your heart. The Scripture promises us that God rewards the people who seek after Him, so decide today to put Jesus first in everything you do. As you do, we believe what it says in Romans 15:13, that “God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in Him”!

We love you and believe your best days are still ahead,

Joel & Victoria
