"And you will have confidence, because there is hope;
You will be protected and take your rest in safety."
(Job 11:18) NRSV,A
"And now, Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in thee."
(Psalm 39:7) NASB
"Hope is the expectation of good in the future."
(Charles Fillmore)
Hope sees all possibilities! This first week of Advent, we are invited to expand our consciousness and see all the possibilities that life holds for us. We know that, "...with God all things are possible;"
therefore, we do not fear, for God the good, omnipotent is with us always, right here, right now, right where we are.
With this understanding, our hearts and minds are uplifted out of any disappointment or difficulty. We know that God's vision for us is far greater than what we can imagine. With that knowing, comes greater confidence, and new courage, for we trust God to lead us safely through any and all situations. We are divinely protected, and our new and greater good awaits us.
Hope is the promise of greater blessings to come!
