| ‘Characters Welcome’ was the catchphrase used by USA Network to highlight its feature programs from 2005-2016. In an interview, executive Alexandria Shapiro explained the ‘Characters Welcome’ slogan was reflective of the ‘weirdly optimistic’ nature of its target demographic at the time. After 2016 USA transitioned to a different slogan based on their target demographic’s less positive outlook on the world around them. In Lamentations 3:21-26, the author expresses his eternal hope in the Lord: Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord. Your hope is not based on your circumstance. |
Prayer |
| Lord, I praise Your Mighty Name. I am thankful that my hope and faith in You is not limited to a season or set of circumstances. Instead I have the promise of an eternity with You in Your Kingdom. Amen. |
Action |
| Ask God to refresh your perspective on your current circumstances. Let your faith be renewed and aligned with God’s vision for your life. |
