Hope is he expectation of good in our lives and it helps us to finish well. Caleb held on to the promise of his inheritance in the Promise Land - hope kept him going for 45 years! Whether it is for five minutes or 45 years, hope keeps us believing and running our race. As we navigate through our life on earth, sometimes we focus on the temporal things we face, and our shirt-sightedness robs us of our hope. Even as the Israelites wandered in the wilderness, Caleb could have focused on the circumstances around him and called it to dampen his hope.
Instead, he set his sight on God's promise to Israel, and that hope an division of inheritance kept him physically and mentally strong at 85, just as he was 45 years, he was hungry to take his inheritance, which Joshua gave to him! I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15:13) The Bible tells us that God is our source of overflowing, confident hope. Let us ask God to fill us with His hope and to revive the dreams He has placed in our hearts, even those from many years ago.
