Developing Hope

Often I here people talking about hope. “There is no hope of…” “I certainly hope so.” In each of these cases there is a certain expectation of a negative. It is plainly obvious in the former and the latter is a wish against the real expectation. However, the word for hope implies expectation. It comes from the Greek word elpis that means anticipation. Let’s read that in the context of scriptures.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

So our faith can be tied to either positive things or to negative things in life. We need to make certain we understand this potential for us to bring about the good or the bad. It really comes down to believing that God is who He says He is, or not. It is the same question to Eve from the garden, and we live it every day.

We CAN choose to believe God is on our side and He is who He says He is.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here, and let Your will be done here, on earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Deliver us from the evil here. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. We ask all these things of You Father King, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen.
