When hard times come, many people lose hope. However, there are many verses in the Bible that talk about the power of hope. These verses give us strength when we are feeling down and remind us that good things will happen in the future.
Hope can help us to see the future in a better light. Hope is the key to seeing our future ahead of time. When we have hope, we can look at our past and see where we are going.
In the Bible, Jesus gave us hope in a time when it was hard to have hope. He encouraged people who had lost hope and believed that they would be punished for their sins because of the darkness that surrounded them.
