5 to Chew On- Hope
by Scott Hamilton on Wednesday, 18th September 2013
Hope fills the afflicted soul with such inward joy and consolation, that it can laugh while tears are in the eye, sigh and sing all in a breath; it is called “the rejoicing of hope” (Hebrews 3:6). William Gurnall
Hopelessness in not a physical problem; it is spiritual. It has lost sight of God’s kingdom purposes that use even suffering to accomplish His ends. Ed Welch
In the midst of an ever-changing world, the good news is that the life of faith is anchored by the power, provisions, and promises of God. Circumstances may change, but the future is as sure as the character of God Himself. No matter what happens, those who trust in God hope in His word. Scott Hafemann
Faith goes up the stairs that love has made and looks out of the windows which hope has opened. Charles Spurgeon
Hope is patience with the lamp lit. Tertullian
