2.1. Hope encourage us

Hope causes us not to get discouraged, not to give up, because we have something to keep going for.

Philippians 1:6 “Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.”

Philippians 3:13-14 “Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

Romans 8:18 “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”

1 Peter 5:10 “But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.”

2.2 Hope is the promise of God

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

Isaiah 43:1-2 “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you.” 

Lamentations 3:22 “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not.” 

Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” 

Titus 3:4-7 “But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” 

Isaiah 40:31 “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” 

Jeremiah 17:7-8. “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes: but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit.” 

2.3 Hope will help us to wait for perseverance

Romans 8:24-25 “For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.” 

Romans 5:5 “Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”

Hebrews 7:19 “For the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.”

2.4 Hope guarantees a fruitful life

Hebrews 7:25 “Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.” 

Romans 15:13 “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Galatians 5:5 “For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.” 

Hebrews 3:6 “But Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.” 

Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” 

1 Peter 1:3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”

Colossians 3:1-2 “If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.”

Ephesians 1:18. “The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints.” 

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

As we succeed, slowly but surely we come to understand that delay doesn’t equal denial.

Prayer: Abba Father,  I submit and surrender myself to You as a humble servant and I kneel before You today, helpless and weak. Lord, grant me Your eternal hope. Without You, I am nothing. Without You, I cannot face any obstacles. Lord, I am at the end of my rope and I need You to carry me, to lift me in your arms and restore my faith and hope. Lord, bring me the strength I need to survive and to carry on Your will. I acknowledge that this is not something I can do without You. I trust in you and Your will is mine. Lord, I need Your hope for love, kindness and for a better life. I ask You to fill me with Your grace from the crown of my head and to the very soles of my feet. Lord, lead me on Your plan. Help me walk in Your glorious light and hope. And show me Your path so that I may follow You. I pray by the name of Jesus. Amen
