"I hope it does not rain during my vacation." This hope is a mere yearning for a chance things will go the way we want them to happen. The Bible speaks of a true hope, which is backed by the promise of the great I AM. He Will Not Fail You.

"Hope is one of the three great gifts of the Spirit," Scarlett reminds us in The God of Hope. Like so many topics in the Bible, we can only begin to scratch the surface.

We pray, as Paul did when writing to the Romans, that as you read and study this month’s issue you Overflow with Hope.
