Hope
Whatever America hopes to bring to pass in the world must first come to pass in the heart of America. (Dwight D. Eisenhower, late US president)
What Eisenhower said about America would be true of any nation and its people. The bigger question, however, is “What is the source of hope?” It would be misplaced in governments and social structures. But, like the word faith, hope can be found only in the God of hope who gives joy and peace along with overflowing hope.
May the God of hope 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 (Romans 15:13).
