In seasons of distress, we are sustained when we realize that as God’s children, we always have something to look forward to. 

Like a runner who senses the finish line is near, though just beyond view, we are rejuvenated at the very thought of a breakthrough. 

Hope is what energizes us when we would otherwise quit.  Hope encourages when life tempts us to give up.  Hope invigorates us when the road is rough and rugged.

Hope is our reminder of God’s faithfulness even amid the bleakest of circumstances.  Hope is like the air; lifting us with its invisible power when we are weary and exhausted.  We can’t see it but we can certainly feel it!

Hope is the unseen power that compels us to press on when our own strength is gone!  But hope also gives us the resolve to wait faithfully on God’s promises to be revealed.

Hope is what sustained the prophets and apostles – God’s people across the ages! Hope is what sustained our ancestors through unimaginable hardship and persecution.  And, this hope is what will sustain us now –  even as we are waiting on better!

Hope! 

For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

Romans 8:24–25
