Expectations

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.

The hope of the righteous is joy, but the expectations of the wicked will perish.

For surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.

Rest in God alone, O my soul, for my hope comes from Him.

I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have complete boldness so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

So the man gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Know therefore that wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, there is a future for you, and your hope will never be cut off.

Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
