there is no stepping backwards, always moving ahead…
#19 of 31 It Will Come part 2
Hope is not now, but it is for the future.
If we have what we want, we do not have hope.
We do not need to have expectations, anticipation or to even look for hope because it is here.
When we look to the future with the eyes of hope, we look with optimism for the brightest and the best.
There is no stepping backwards, always moving ahead to the next stop with a full heart.
A heart that does not condemn, a soul that is right and a mind that is excited, because we know it will come.
“But if we hope for that we see not then do we with patience wait for it.” Romans 8 verse 25

without faith it is impossible to please God
#17 of 31 Why Hope?
“People need to have faith because they need hope.”
The need for hope is a soul wrenching desire to touch the infinite even when we are finite.
A need that has no boundaries, no roadblocks, nothing that could bar that light of expectation from bursting forth.
It is incredible and far beyond magnificent.
It is the impetus that keeps the weary heart beating, the silent lips praying and weak mind dreaming.
If faith is the moon than hope is the rising sun that chases the shadows away.
Without faith it is impossible to please the true and living God.
The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope for his people. Joel 3 verse 16

There is a wrong and a right even with hope.
# 16 of 31 False Hope, Again
False hope is based on ignorance, believing unrealistically, given to foolish expectations.
There is a wrong and a right, even with hope.
But what if you believe and have faith and ask doubting nothing, but trusting that these things will come to pass, is that not hope?
Hope at times is blind to reality. It only sees the possible through the eyes of faith.
There is no vengeful desires with hope.
There is no consumption of lust.
There is no darkness in hope.
There is no fear with hope, because fear has torment.
There is only peace. This is the peace of God that surpasses all understanding.

Faith has no eyes to see with or ears to hear with
# 15 of 31 Faith Supports Hope
“Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope.” Acts 2 verse 26
In order to say and not only that, but to believe that there is hope in this world, faith must be engaged.
Faith is the underpinning of hope. And faith like a grain of mustard seed, multiples into an abundance of anticipation.
Faith has no eyes to see with or ears to hear with, but it exists because it believes when there is nothing but hope to rely on.

He is my anchor in the storm
#14 of 31 False Hope?
What if hope is false? What is with great expectations comes great disappointments?
What if indeed?
Surely there is an end and (my) expectancy shall not be cut off. I live in faith for my soul waits upon God, and my expectation is from Him. (Proverbs 23 verse 18 and Psalm 6 verse 25)
He is my hope, my anchor in the storm, therefore I can trust in Him.
This is true Hope without falsehood.

the dead cannot hope
#13 of 31 The Dead & Hope
Dead men cannot hope. Hope is for the living not the dead.
For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope,
For a living dog is better than a dead lion.
For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not any thing,
Neither have they any more reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Also their love, and their hatred and their envy is now perished; neither have they any more portion forever in anything that is done under the sun. Ecclesiastes 9 verse 4

It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait
# 12 of 31 Hope and Wait
This I recall to my mind therefore have I hope.
It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed,
Because his compassions fail not
They are new every morning: great is they faithfulness,
The Lord is my portion, says my should; therefore will I hope in Him.
The Lord is good unto them that wait for him,
to the soul that seeks him.
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.
