Hope

Hope: To cherish a desire with expectation of fulfillment.

Hope, what is it you are hopeful for? Are you even hopeful for anything?


I think too many times people get caught up in being hopeful on things. I have said too many times "I hope this happens" or "that happens", not just asking God to take care of it. Whether it be something big or small. I am not saying that you shouldn't hope. I just think we should rely on God instead of hope.

When I am looking for an answer I sometimes say out loud "I hope", but my heart is saying "Lord - help me with this".


Have you ever said I hope my kids or my parents are ok? I think what we really mean is "God, be with them".


I have learned over the last year I am hopeful in one thing...that God knows my heart and that I am doing what he has asked me to do.


1 Timothy 6:17 "Command those who are rich in the present world not to be arrogant nor to put their HOPE in wealth which is so uncertain, but to put their HOPE in God".
