Scripture:
"The hope of the righteous brings joy, but the expectation of the wicked will perish."

Reflection: True joy is not found in the fleeting pleasures of this world but in the hope that comes from living righteously. The joy that God offers is rooted in His promises and is enduring. Unlike worldly expectations that often lead to disappointment, the hope we have in God leads to lasting happiness.

Application/Journal Entry/Discussion: Today, focus on where you place your hope. Are your expectations centered on temporary things, or are they grounded in God’s promises? Take time to realign your hopes with God’s will, and trust that He will bring joy that lasts.
