A Lesson in Abundance
All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.—Luke 21:4 (NIV)
For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is no hope at all. For who hopes for what he sees?—Romans 8:24 (ESV)
No matter what problems you face, it’s important to keep hope alive in your life. Hope is a great renewing force. Whenever difficulties and trouble come upon you, ask God to reassure you that things will get better.
Father, You are my refuge and strength, brighten my dark thoughts and fill me with hope.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.—James 1:17 (NIV)

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.—Hebrews 4:12 (NIV)
