[embedded content] Hope is a golden cord connecting you to heaven. This cord helps you hold your head up high, even when multiple trials are buffeting you. I never leave your side, and I never let go of your hand. Hope lifts your perspective from your weary feet to the glorious view you can see from the high road. You are reminded that the road we’re traveling together is ultimately a highway to heaven. I am training you to hold in your heart a dual focus: My continual Presence and the hope of heaven. But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. —1 Thessalonians 5:8 Jesus Calling, the best-selling 365 day devotional, and it’s follow up, Jesus Always, are available in stores now.
