"And your life will be brighter than the noonday; its darkness will be like the morning. And you will feel secure, because there is hope; you will look around and take your rest in security. " --- Job 11:17-18
PRAYER THOUGHT
"Hope" is commonly used to mean a wish, to cherish a desire with anticipation, to want something to happen. We are hoping something happens, but we are not sure it will. This type of hope finds its fulfillment and strength in the strength of a person's desire and ability to make something happen. Biblical hope is different. It isn't hoping something happens, but it is the confident expectation of what God has promised and the truth that it will happen. It is His strength and faithfulness that will bring what He has promised to fruition.
