David Said his hope was in the Lord. Biblical hope means confidence in the future. It’s a confidence born of faith. Faith, hope and love go together (1 Cor.13).

Hope for the Christian is not a feeling of “I hope it’s going to happen.” It’s exciting expectancy because God controls the future. When Jesus Christ is your Saviour and your Lord, the future is your Friend. You don’t have to worry.

Hope is so important, if we lose hope we lose joy and we have no confidence for the future. ... Our hope for the future is funded in the promises of God’s Word. God’s faithfulness in keeping His promises in the past gives us confidence and hope for the future.
