9/23/13 Proverbs 23:18 You Have Hope for a Bright Future

 

Proverbs 23:18 (NAS)

Surely there is a future, And your hope will not be cut off.

 

 Proverbs 23:18 (NIVUS)

There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. 

 
Are you looking forward to something?  Is there something for which you are dreaming and planning?  Maybe it seems as if it is delaying and tarrying in coming.  However, you should continue to wait, for you do have a bright future. Your faith will put substance to your dreams and God will bring them into existence.
 
Therefore, continue to eagerly look for what you desire. You can expect a good outcome, for it has been bound to you through cords of hope.  It will not be cut off or eliminated. You vision and dream will not be destroyed; it will not perish. The Lord your God has made a covenant of blessing with you; He is already gathering and collecting everything you need to bring about its fulfillment.
