In the above verse hope is believing without a doubt that God always keeps His promises. Strong faith is the foundation for a hope-filled future. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “Practice hope. As hopefulness becomes a habit, you can achieve a permanently happy spirit.”
Merciful Savior, I have no doubt that Your Word is true. When I need a boost of hope, I will lift my mind up to You and let faith pour down on me.
