Theme: Something Better Is Ahead—Later, Down the Road
Today’s Scripture: Hebrews 11:32–40
Scripture: “Yet all these were commended for their faith, though they did not
receive what was promised, since God had provided something better.” - Hebrews
11:32–40
Thought: Faith doesn't always see immediate fulfillment; some promises unfold
across generations. Hope stretches toward a future God is still shaping.
Prayer: Promise-keeping God, strengthen our faith when fulfillment feels far
away and keep hope alive within us. Amen.
Positive Practice: Write down one hope for the future, yours or the next
generation, and pray over it. Release it to God’s timeline.
Lenten Emphasis - Heart Health for African Americans: Hope, rest, and community support strengthen
both emotional and heart health. Staying spiritually grounded and connected to others
further supports overall emotional and cardiovascular well-being.
Mission Emphasis – HBCUs: HBCUs embody hope for the future. Invest
in the future by supporting HBCUs, which embody hope for generations yet to
come.
