*A thought*:
Sad though the fall of Jerusalem was, it is important to remember that from God's point of view, those walls were ever upright before Him (Isa.49:16). God sees with a double vision. He sees things, not only as they are, but as they will be. Our hope must be in His hope.
*Week #34 Memory Verse*:
Isaiah 40:31
"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint"
