Isaiah 51:6 (NIV) Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail.
Romans 5:5 (NIV) And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
The main emotion of the adult American who has had all the advantages of wealth, education, and culture is disappointment. —John Cheever, Leadership, Vol. 17, no. 2.
Lord, we pray that we will remember to look to you for our help, and not to those things of the world, that in the end can only disappoint. Amen.
