Hope
Hope, it seems, is not related to our circumstances but rather to our relationships. (Kip Cone, pastor)
The Bible often speaks about hope and faith together. “Faith shows the reality of what we hope for” (Hebrews 11:1). Faith is only as good as its object. Don’t put your faith, for example, in a broken chair. Hope, on the other hand, is the expectation of something promised by someone with whom you have a trusting relationship.
. . . joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the Lord their God (Psalm 146:5).
