"For I know the plans I have for you,' Declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." - Romans 15:13
For the anxious or the depressed hope is a lifeline. When hope is gone there is no longer any will to live.
Our Lord and Savior is all about hope! Belief in him means that his hope resides within us, and we will never again be without it.
Along with our relationship with Jesus comes a confident expectation that everything will turn out right on the end. We should always harbor a knowledge that no matter how bad things look, the Lord has not, and will not forsake us.
As a child of the Lord we can expect to walk in peace though all around us storms rage. He has promised us hope, and our Lord delivers on his promises - if we but receive.
Have you ever been without hope in your life?
How can you take to heart the Lord's promise of hope?
