“For He (Jesus) was foreknown before the foundation of the world,

but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you

who through Him are believers in God,

who raised Him from the dead and gave him glory,

so that your faith and hope are in God.

1 Peter 1:20-21

Where is your faith and hope? If you are putting faith and hope in your accomplishments, your job, your spouse or children, the future, your wealth, your health, or in anything else other than God, it will fail you. Only God is faithful and eternal. Only His word will last past the days on this earth.

What is the next step on your journey toward a deeper experience with faith and hope? Do you need to read the Bible and learn about your God? Do you need to trust God with more of your life? Do you need to rest in Him during a trial? If you are overcome with worry and anxiety, practice resting in God through praise and prayer and Bible reading. He is the answer.
