Hope.

A simple word that brings light into darkness.

It is not just wishful thinking, but an earnest expectation.

Often times, when the whole world seems to be against us, hope can appear to be really dim. It is at these times that we often feel helpless and depressed. Yet, we forget that even IF the whole world is against us (which often isn’t the case), God is still there for us. He has promised to never leave us or forsake us, and will always be there for us no matter how bad we may have messed up.

In fact, His Word continually declares how much He loves us and wants the very best for us. We can be encouraged in His Word as they show us how much God desires for us to succeed and achieve great things in our lives.

Therefore, let us be joyful in His presence,
and be encouraged in our hearts, knowing that He desires to see us accomplish our purposes. We can trust Him and hang our hopes on Him as He has promised to fulfill His plans for us. 

As you read through the quotations on hope recorded below, remember this - not only is God our Help in the ages past, He is even more so our Hope and Strength in the years to come.
