Power of HOPE

Hope according to Strong’s

Greek definition is “Anticipation”.

In 1971, Carly Simon came out with

a leading single called, “Anticipation”.

“Anticipation is keeping me waiting”

Heinz Ketchup through the late 1970s and

into the 1980s used the song in commercials.

Most of us at this point are seeing the ketchup

bottle and hearing the song in our minds.

Hope is Anticipation

Anticipation is generally an expectation with pleasure.

To anticipate is to see the future.

It is vision.

Anticipation can help you avoid an accident.

Anticipation gives endurance.

It is what keeps you in line on Black Friday.

I do not like the cold and knowing I have my

airline tickets for warming weather in February

makes December and January bearable.

Anticipation is a big part of our lives.

If you took the time you would find you

have a long list of things you anticipate.

We can also anticipate things that emotionally hurt.

Anticipation can bring fear…

The doctor’s report, the court date.

The vision of the future is not

always filled with sunshine.

  

Take a look at these words in Romans 15…

 “May the God of hope”

The God of anticipation

God wants us to maximize the

present by anticipating the future.

Like a parent who tells their children

they are taking a trip to Disney.

The days up to the trip are just

as full of excitement as arriving.

God wants to fill you with joy and peace.

“May the God of hope fill you with

all joy and peace as you trust in Him”

  

Wherever you are at today, God

wants to fill you with joy and peace.

Today may be full of sorrow and anxiety…

 But today is not your future.

God wants to fill you with anticipation.

Anticipation that gives us confidence that all things

will work out for the good for those who love Him.

Our God is big enough not only to fill your cup but to

cause your heart and mind to overflow with anticipation.

How does He do it?

“By the power of the Holy Spirit”

Every good movie, good book or story

has to have anticipation built in.

Anticipation, hope, keeps you engaged to the end.

Your story is being written and you need

anticipation and hope to keep you engaged to the end.

Your anticipation source is God and He

delivers it by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Let God fill you with…

 Anticipation, Hope, Dreams and Vision

And you will have overflowing joy

and peace in your time of waiting.
