Commentary
Persecution will come (2 Tim. 3:12), but God is faithful. Temptations will abound, but God is faithful to provide an escape (cf. 1 Cor. 10:13). God's promises are reliable (1 Cor. 10:13; 1 Thess. 5:24; Jude 24,25). With that confidence, the believer can persevere.

HOPE - confident expectancy. Hope does not arise from the individual's desires or wishes but from God, who is Himself the believer's hope: "My hope is in You" (Ps. 39:7). Genuine hope is not wishful thinking, but a firm assurance about things that are unseen and still in the future (Rom. 8:24-25; Heb. 11:1, 7).

Boldly speak powerful affirmations as you hold your thoughts in agreement with the word of God and focus your emotions on believing, then by God's divine design, he promises that if you will do those 3 things you will have what you ask for by your unending faith in his Creation! All the Glory to God! I am living in the Glory Dayz! I invite you to join me! I bid you Mercy & Grace, Power & Love!
