Ready for another definition of hope?
Here it is! Hope means “a person or thing in which expectations are centred.”
For Christians, the “person” we put our hope, or expectation, in is God.
It can be challenging to live in this world. Sometimes we may put our hope in other people. But sometimes we cannot rely on people. People are not perfect. People make mistakes. They may disappoint us. We also should not put our hope in things. Things of this world do not last forever.
God is the only ONE who is perfect. We can rely on Him. God does not make mistakes. And He is eternal.
Evaluate your life today. Where is your hope? What person or thing is your hope based on? Is your hope in God? I hope so! —CPE*
1 Timothy 6:17 “Give this command to those who are rich with the things of this world. Tell them not to be proud. Tell them to hope in God, not in their money. Money cannot be trusted, but God takes care of us richly. He gives us everything to enjoy.”
PRAYER: Dear God, I do not want to trust and rely on things of this world. My hope is in You! In Jesus’ name. Amen.
