“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” Romans 15:13.

    Hope is defined as a sincere and heartfelt expectation of something we desire to happen. It is more than a mere wish because it must be grounded in a belief in something far greater than ourselves. The hope of the born-again believer is placed in our Almighty God. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1.

    My friends, hope that is anchored in the faithfulness of God is sure; it is based on His unfailing character. “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” Numbers 19:23. Every day we breathe is lovingly orchestrated by our Almighty God.

   Remaining steadfast in hope gives us the willpower to push on when all else seems impossible to endure, and it provides us with peace that is beyond our comprehension. It is the joy that runs deep down in our souls, succoring us far above the hurts, sorrows, and ill treatment that happen as we walk this journey of life!

   It lifts, encourages, and energizes us in the power of the Holy Ghost, and when we release our cares and concerns to God, He fills us with the wisdom, peace, and courage to run on in faith. “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” Romans 15:13.

   Finally, it is all about God living in us… He is the light at the end of the tunnel, and no matter what is transpiring in our lives today, we can trust the unknown future with our Great and Almighty Heavenly Father. 

Yes, my friends, our anchor holds and grips the solid rock. God is our hope for every tomorrow! And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee.” Psalm 39:7.

God’s blessings of peace, faith, and hope—once you choose to hope in God, all things are possible!
