Hope

I always tell my friends that I hope this/that will happen in future. Even if I appear to be confident that something I hoped for would happen, in reality its different. I feel the pressure and have so many doubts about the claims that I make. Is that how the Bible teaches us about Hope? We read in the scriptures that hope is a firm assurance regarding things that are unclear and unknown (Romans 8:24-25; Hebrews 11:1,7). Hope is a fundamental component of the life of the righteous (Proverbs 23:18). Without hope, life loses its meaning (Lamentations 3:18, Job 7:6) and in death there is no hope (Isaiah 38:18, Job 17:15). The righteous who trust or put their hope in God will be helped (Psalm 28:7) and they will not be confounded, put to shame, or disappointed (Isaiah 49:23). The righteous who have this trustful hope in God have a general confidence in God's protection and help (Jeremiah 29:11), and are free from fear and anxiety (Psalm 46:2-3).

The next time when you hope for something, be assured that God will work it out for you because the Bible say so. He is the Creator, Father and your strength through whom you can do all things. There's nothing too difficult for God.
