Hope is an interesting concept. It is desire that usually contains some degree of uncertainty--the weather, or a sports team's chances of winning, or even serious, life-threatening situations. But in Romans 15:13, we read about "the God of hope", Who gives us confident expectation and fills us with joy and peace. He wants to give those who trust in Him abundant hope that will stoke unshakable faith and a fresh supply of power from the Holy Spirit.
