Wait for God. Wait with hope. Hope now; hope
always!—Psalm 131:3

I’m a hostage here for hope, not doom.—Acts 28:20

Waiting does not diminish us, any more than waiting
diminishes a pregnant mother. We are enlarged in the
waiting.—Romans 8:24

By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this,
but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning
us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m
not turning back.—Philippians 3:13-14

The lines of purpose in your lives never grow slack,
tightly tied as they are to your future in heaven, kept
taut by hope.—Colossians 1:5

When God wanted to guarantee his promises, he gave
his word, a rock-solid guarantee—God can’t break his
word. And because his word cannot change, the promise
is likewise unchangeable.
We who have run for our very lives to God have
every reason to grab the promised hope with both
hands and never let go. It’s an unbreakable spiritual
lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very
presence of God.—Hebrews 6:17-19
