Day 27 of this daily Bible reading focuses on hope for the future through Psalm 31:24, Jeremiah 31:17, and Romans 15:4. Hope can feel dangerous when you've been disappointed before — after enough letdowns, it's tempting to protect your heart by expecting less. But what if hopelessness is actually more dangerous than hope? David encourages those who hope in the Lord to be strong and take heart — this isn't generic positive thinking, it's hope anchored in God's unchanging character. Jeremiah spoke to parents whose children had been taken into exile, yet God promised hope for their descendants. And Paul reminds us that every story of God's faithfulness in Scripture is meant to strengthen our confidence in His faithfulness for our future. Your story isn't over. God is still writing. This morning devotional includes Scripture reading, reflection, and prayer. From 3 Verses a Day, a daily Christian devotional podcast by Mark Ross Junkans.
