Let the Lord, Your God, be your hope--seek nothing else from Him but let Him Himself be your hope. St. Augustine
Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31.

Hope is commonly used to mean a wish, but in the Bible, hope is the confident expectation of what God has promised and its strength is in His faithfulness.


It is not a lack of faith if we say that we hope something God has promised will come true, but rather, it is like saying, "My hope in my salvation is Jesus died for my sins." Believers have a quiet expectation that all will turn out for the good for God's plan is for the world to made whole eventually and free of sin and evil.
