“Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God!” Hoping in God does not come naturally for sinners like us. We must preach it to ourselves, and preach diligently and forcefully, or we will give way to a downcast and disquieted spirit.

What is hope? Is it a wishy washy maybe or a kind of unsure optimism? The modern idea of hope is “to wish for, to expect, but without certainty of the fulfillment; to desire very much, but with no real assurance of getting your desire.” In Scripture, according to the Hebrew and Greek words translated by the word “hope” and according to the biblical...
It is Dynamic or Active
In the Bible, hope is never a static or passive thing. It is dynamic, active, directive and life sustaining. This is everywhere obvious as we read the Word. Take a concordance, look up the word “hope” and you will find reference after reference pointing out the active results of hope in the lives of those who truly have a biblical hope and live accordingly. In other words, a biblical hope is not an escape from reality or from problems. It doesn’t leave us idle, drifting or just rocking on the...

(1) It changes how we see ourselves.It changes us into pilgrim persons, people who see this life as temporary sojourn. 2 Peter 1:13And I consider it right, as long as I am in this earthly dwelling, to stir you up by way of reminder, 1 Peter 2:11Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts, which wage war against the soul.

Where and How Do We Get Hope?
There are a number of warnings in Scripture against putting our hope in anything other than the Lord because these things will leave us ashamed, frustrated, disappointed, and in ruin. Job 8:11-1511 Can the papyrus grow up without marsh? Can the rushes grow without water? 12 While it is still green and not cut down, Yet it withers before any other plant. 13 So are the paths of all who forget God, And the hope of the godless will perish, 14 Whose confidence is fragile, And whose trust a spider'...

Today we focus on the first fruit of hope. Our text is the first phrase in Romans 12:12 — “Rejoice in hope!”. We could paraphrase it like this: “Let your joy be the joy that comes from hope!”. Or: “Bear the fruit of joy in the branch of hope!”. Or: “Be glad because you have hope!”.
