Hope And Trust

Peace comes when we trust. Trust comes when we have hope. Hope comes when we know WHO God is through the personal work of Jesus by His Spirit within us.

All this is working itself out in the daily process of living by faith and walking in the Spirit, which is contrary to walking in the flesh and believing only what we can see.

Hope and trust are often intermingled in translations from Biblical Hebrew and Greek into our modern-day language. They have the same root system, and their branches look very similar, but they produce a slightly different tasting fruit.

In these verses you can see how either word could fit, but we are focusing on Hope.

Psalm 25:5 - Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.

Psalm 25:21 - May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you.

Psalm 31:24 - So be strong and take courage, all you who put your hope in the LORD!

Psalm 33:22 - Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone.

Today, pray that your HOPE is placed in none other than Jesus Christ.
