Romans 4:16-21; Hebrews 11:1; 1 Samuel 1:8-18

– Our believing and hoping must be according to that which was spoken.

– There’s no reason to hope, but we believe anyway.

– Faith is acting or living like the promises of God are true.

– Biblical hope is not wishful thinking.

– Hope is a confident expectation that God will do what He said.

– So many times do we not understand the depth of someone’s pain.  Not understanding may not be a malicious thing.

– Just because someone doesn’t get it doesn’t mean that they don’t want to.

– Hannah wanted to do something different.

– It’s a mark of godliness when we have every right to be mad, but respond in grace.

– Our soul can be lifted up, our psyche can be changed, even when things all around us remain the same. That is the power of hope.

– When hope begins to dissipate, so do our words.

– Hopelessness takes away our voice.

– God will fill us when our mouths are open.
