Bright, Blessed, and Beautiful

Your future is bright and filled with a living hope that will never fade away. Proverbs 23:18 (The Passion Translation, TPT)

This verse says that your future is bright. You might be facing a dark time; this may even be the darkest time of your life. Or you may be growing weary in dealing with a dark world. Cheer up! You have a living hope, one that nothing can take from you because your hope is based on God and His Word. For God’s word to fail, God would have to fail. God cannot fail; Jesus’ resurrection proves this. Just as God and His promises never fade away, neither will your hope for a bright future.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10 (KJV)

You have a bright future because the Son of Righteousness holds your future in His hands, and He is in your future. Before you were born, God planned out your future- just take steps to walk in all that God has for you. (See Jeremiah 1, Psalm 139, Ephesians 1)

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 (New International Version, NIV)

This is encouraging, because no matter what comes up, whatever need may arise, God has already planned to prosper you. Finances, favor, healing, good relationships- it’s in His plan. He is saying to you that He already has it covered. Understand that God’s plan swallows up pain. His provision is bigger than any need. And God’s peace conquers any attack. Therefore, your future is bright, blessed, and beautiful.

Know also that wisdom is like honey for you: If you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. Proverbs 24:14 (New International Version, NIV)

Wisdom from God brings reward and a good future. You have a positive outcome ahead of you. The future is bright and the best is yet to come!
