Hope
Everything that is done in the world is done by hope. (Martin Luther, reformer)
Many factors motivate people to move ahead, to pursue a dream or a vision. Luther suggests that hope may be the greatest motivation of all. But, if we think the future is uncertain or that what we are pursuing can’t succeed, we fear losing our dream. In other words, if we have no hope, our dreams will certainly fail. It’s a certain hope that keeps us seeking worthy goals.
You will be secure, because there is hope . . . Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord (Job 11:8; Psalm 31:24).
