Hope
Bec continued our Living with Kingdom Hope in the morning, looking at Hope that Holds. When exile exposes our weakness, hope holds us through confession, lament, and God’s mercy. In Daniel 9, Daniel prays a prayer of repentance on behalf of his people, acknowledging their sin, grieving their brokenness, and appealing to God’s compassion. His example shows us that hope is not found in our perfection but in God’s steadfast love.
