Hope is a powerful emotion.
Hope - remember, we are never alone.

Hope is the "expectation of good" and to "wait for with eager expectation".

On what can we confidently base our hope? Not on imperfect humans, no matter how sincere.

Look to the Source of Hope:
"Moreover, may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of undeserved kindness, comfort your hearts and make you firm in every good deed and word." 2Thess 2:16,17
Example: Even at the time of Adams sin, God did not leave mankind with out hope, but gave us hope through the promised "seed" (Gen 3:15; 22:18) who is Jesus Christ. (Galations 3:16)
ALL problems, even if they are mountain like, huge, a tangled mess, without seeing a way out, will be solved by means of God's Kingdom government in the hands of his appointed King, Christ Jesus.
Yes, even our personal problems will be solved thru that kingdom arrangement. Praise our Lord!
