When we hear the word “hope” spoken in the Bible, it is not a wishful hope. It is an assured waiting for that which will be, and already is, in God’s economy. We can be absolutely certain that what God has promised, will be.

Is your hope in Jesus? Do you look forward to the day when you see him face to face? If you know Him now, your hope is well placed. As surely as you are hearing my voice now, you will see Him. That fact alone should, as the apostle Paul said, fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the holy spirit.
