Hope, just like faith, is the currency of exchange where uncertainty looms. A believer's hope doesn't cause shame, but gives something to live for. It is both the conscious and subconscious belief that things would get better and turn out fine the next moment. While to some, it may be meaningless to be hopeful, hope in itself, is an expression of strong faith for what is possible and expected. Hope is a catalyst that triggers a positive response that stands opposed to reason or the fact of the matter.
Hope is not passive, redundant, involuntary action that we carry out for want of better options; it is the belief or expectation that something wished for can or will happen. It is a settled affirmation of your belief in spite of the overwhelming indicators to the contrary. Job gives us a hopeful assurance that a tree will not wither and die because it was cut down. As long as its roots are in the ground, an introduction of water would change the dynamics and cause it to not only sprout but to produce! May I invite you to introduce the word of God symbolised as "water" to that situation, then watch out?!
