Jesus First: Devotions to Start Your DaySample

Trust Leads to Hope

Jesus is the Word become flesh. He is the Son of God and the embodiment of love. He will rule and reign in glory into eternity. He is not some fable or moralistic story. He is as real as the air we breathe. He is as tangible as the ground beneath our feet. He is as mysterious as the wind, yet we see how he moves.

How has the person of Jesus led you to trust in God? How has his mercy affected your life? May your faith be firmly rooted in his love, which never changes. He expands our understanding as we seek to know him more. As we know him, we trust him, and as we trust him, hope springs up. His Word will not fail. His promises will be fulfilled. Let us trust in him, leaning on his ability to save over our limited scope of what he is doing. In him, there is hope. In him, there is a better day dawning. He is faithful.

Trustworthy One, I let go of the need to know all the answers today. As I trust you, let hope arise within my heart. I know you are near, and I rely on your Spirit’s presence to breathe peace into my soul.
