Hope deferred makes the heart sick
but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. Proverbs 13:12
Hope is vision for a better tomorrow
Even if a better tomorrow isn't promised. We are a hoping people , we need hope to survive. We need a vision for the future, or our life loses meaning. If our vision for what we want does not go the way we imagined we become discouraged or depressed. In our current cultural moment hopelessness is an epidemic. Suicide, anxiety, depression are at an all time high, so are the ways we're dealing with them.
"We are the most in-debt, obese, addicted and medicated adult cohort in U.S. history." -Brene Brown
What should we do?
Sink our HOPE into something secure.
We're told in Hebrews 6:19, "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure."
Hope, when put in the proper place, is not foolish. It actually becomes something secure.

What is SECURE?
