Faith & Hope

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not to your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down for the Lord upholds him with His hand. Psalm 37:23-24

being renewed day by day. 2ndCor.4:16 NSRV

With God all things are possible. Matt.19:26, Mark 10:27

Faith is the substance (being sure) of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

The just shall live by faith. Romans 1:17, Heb.10:38 If God is for us, who can be against us. Romans 8:31

Do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. You have need of endurance so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise. Hebrews 10:35-36

Without faith, it is impossible to please Him (God), for he who comes to God must believe that He is (God), and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Heb.11:6
