I hope I get this right - I hope we get it . . .

I have been thinking about this word - hope. It struck me that "hope" is an action word, a verb of audacity.

If you have the nerve, the gall, the Courage, the enthusiasm to hope, you must also posses the courage to follow through.

See, I figured hope standing alone is just a lovely word. But with substance, bears the chance of successful application toward your - our - hoped desire.

So hope mirrors prayer. Prayer without action will comeback void. I would liken it to a prayer that may go . . ."God, I am praying on bent knees, humbly before You for a job . . ." So now we come off our knees to sit on our ass and Think some form of employment is going to track us down, knock on our door, and say here I am now come on let's go on out and buy you that Bentley.

Prayer and hope require, demand courage and action. More importantly prayer and hope require faith.

I think it is Hebrews 11:1 - you Bible scholars don't over examine me on this - but, Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the substance of things hoped fora and the evidence of things not seen.  Hope, pray, take acation and have faith - that God will see that it will all come to be.

We can do more than hope, we can have faith in believing.
