I have hoped in thy word. What is hope? The dictionary says a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. (I hope I pass this test. I hope I get the new house, job, car. You fill in the blank.)
What does the Bible say about hope? Psalm 71:5A For thou art my hope, O Lord God: Jeremiah17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. Psalm 147:11 The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, In those who hope in his mercy. Romans 15:13 May 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.
There are many other verses, too many to mention. I think we get the picture. We need to put our hope in the Lord and His Word. He is the God of hope! The things of earth will pass away. Our hope in the Lord is eternal.
In Christ,
Mary M.
