Hope is knowing God is in the midst thereof yet will never cause iniquity.
He has no favorites, it is always equal treatment for you or me.

Hope is knowing God's hand is reaching out for us even in the darkest hour,
knowing, if necessary,  we will see angels and all their power.

Hope is believing as David did facing the giant Philistine,
knowing about faith and what possessing it can mean.

Hope is Daniel being lowered into the lions' den,
believing in the morning he would come out again.

Hope is Joseph honestly resisting the ruler's wife,
knowing it would bring about punishment and strife.

Hope is Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego still openly praying even though,
into an oven with the roaring fire they would have to go.

Hope is Jacob not willing to release his hold.
A situation in which he was rather bold.

Hope is believing that if you have a rope and just hang in,
that Jesus is the one holding on at the other end.

Hope is a gift given out of love,
by the honorable and honored God above.
