How often do we say the word hope? I hope it doesn’t rain tomorrow. I hope I stay healthy. I hope my kids are okay. I hope my car doesn’t break down. And, so on and so on. We’re hopeful people for the most part. We look for the silver linings, but in the way we use the word, we betray our doubts. Maybe we won’t receive what we hope for. We hope, but it’s possible we will be denied. That’s not the way the word is used when speaking of Christ. When we have hope in Jesus, our hope is solid as a rock. Our hope in him is a guaranteed outcome, not wishful thinking.

I guess there is a big difference in hoping for something and something being our hope. Thanks Sheila. It gives me a lot to think about. Blessings on your day! Anne
