“By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.” Psalm 65:5
God’s definition of hope varies significantly from the world’s definition. According to Oxford Languages hope means, “a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen”. So hope is defined as a feeling, something that comes from within a person. It is some vague desire for something to occur. It is therefore a selfish emotion.
God’s definition is the assurance that something will happen based on His nature. Since God’s power is unlimited and He always acts in righteousness, He will always accomplish what He promises. We can trust in His goodness, mercy, grace and might. We can always have hope that God will hear us and answer our prayers in His righteousness and power.
