Hope can be understood as "desire + expectation." So, what do you really hope for? Throughout our lives, we could make lists of the physical things we have desired, and fewer than we expected to receive. We must note how these lists of physical hopes have changed as the circumstances of our lives changed. Some hopes we realized, some we did not. At some point in our lives, the importance of physical hopes evaporates. At any time, we can choose a spiritual hope that never changes and will never evaporate. "For we through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness." - Gal. 5:5 (NASV). Let’s remember this as we move along our unique individual spiritual journey.
