Romans 8:24-25 “For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we don’t yet have, we wait for it patiently.”

There’s a big difference between worldly hope and Christian hope. Worldly hope is hinged on wishing, luck, fate, and karma. But Hope in Jesus is the firm conviction that the future promises of God will be fulfilled. But even within this enduring hope in faith, we can at times lose hope…especially in very difficult times. So how do we find it again? Well, as the old Hymn goes, We stand on the promises of God…patiently enduring to the end…”Fixing our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (II Corinthians 4:18) Or as Hebrews 6:19 tells us, “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.”
