Hopelessness:
Job
11:20 NLT
But
the wicked will be blinded. They will have no escape. Their only hope
is death.”

wander around, saying, ‘Where can I find bread?’ They know their
day of destruction is near.

17:15 KJV
And
where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
Job
27:7-23 NLT
7
“May my enemy be punished like the wicked, my adversary like those
who do evil.
8
For what hope do the godless have when God cuts them off and takes
away their life?
9
Will God listen to their cry when trouble comes upon them?
10
Can they take delight in The Almighty? Can they call to God at any
time?
11
I will teach you about God’s power. I will not conceal anything
concerning The Almighty.
12
But you have seen all this, yet you say all these useless things to
me.
13
“This is what the wicked will receive from God; this is their
inheritance from The Almighty.
14
They may have many children, but the children will die in war or
starve to death.
15
Those who survive will die of a plague, and not even their widows
will mourn them.
16
“Evil people may have piles of money and may store away mounds of
clothing.
17
But the righteous will wear that clothing, and the innocent will
divide that money.
18
The wicked build houses as fragile as a spider’s web, as flimsy as
a shelter made of branches.
19
The wicked go to bed rich but wake to find that all their wealth is
gone.
20
Terror overwhelms them like a flood, and they are blown away in the
storms of the night.
21
The east wind carries them away, and they are gone. It sweeps them
away.
22
It whirls down on them without mercy. They struggle to flee from its
power.
23
But everyone jeers at them and mocks them.
Proverbs
10:28 KJV
The
hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the
wicked shall perish.
Proverbs
24:20 NLT
For
evil people have no future; the light of the wicked will be snuffed
out.
Jeremiah
2:25 KJV
Withhold
thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou
saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after
them will I go.
Ephesians
2:12 KJV
That
at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the
commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise,
having no hope, and without God in the world:
I
Thessalonians 4:13 KJV
But
I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which
are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
Jude
1:1-19 KJV
1
Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that
are sanctified by God The Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and
called:
2
Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
3
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common
salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you
that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once
delivered unto the saints.
4
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old
ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our
God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord
Jesus Christ.
5
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this,
how that The Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt,
afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6
And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own
habitation, He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness
unto the judgment of the great day.
7
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner,
giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh,
are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal
fire.
8
Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise
dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9
Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed
about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing
accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10
But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what
they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt
themselves.
11
Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran
greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the
gainsaying of Core.
12
These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you,
feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water,
carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit,
twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13
Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering
stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
14
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying,
Behold, The Lord cometh with ten thousands of His saints,
15
To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly
among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly
committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have
spoken against Him.
16
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and
their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in
admiration because of advantage.
17
But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the
apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18
How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who
should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19
These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not The
Spirit.

The Solid Rock
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
Chorus:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
