Scripture lesson: Proverbs 13:12 Hope
Time to reflect: To add a little background to this proverb, which is otherwise self explanatory, “hope” in English is equivalent to “wish” but in the Biblical languages, it was a much stronger word. I usually translate it as “an absolute confidence in something yet to happen.” For a delayed hope there is the possibility of wavering in our confidence.
Moving through the day: We have hope in the resurrection. Are there times when your hope fades into wishing or even doubt? Pray for confidence in the promises of Scripture.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
