Hope in God’s
eyes is not wishful thinking but means a “strong and confident expectation”.
How many times in life do things not turn out
as we planned or hoped for? Look at the promises that are made in Proverbs:
Proverbs 10:28 - The
prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.
Proverbs 11:7 - Hopes
placed in mortals die with them; all the promise of their power comes to
nothing.
Proverbs 11:23
- The desire of the righteous ends only in good, but the hope of the wicked
only in wrath.
Proverbs 23:18 - There
is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.
Proverbs 26:12 - Do
you see a person wise in their own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for
them.
Hope is from God and
is always available regardless of what’s happening in the world. Amen?
