Every day we have a choice where to look for hope<\/strong>\u2014in created things or in our Creator. The world tells us to hope in money, luck, determination, relationships, skills, and our own abilities. God tells us to look to Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world disappoints us\u2014again and again, but God will never fail us. The hope He offers doesn\u2019t rise and fall with changing circumstances. It is solid and secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s version of hope doesn\u2019t promise to deliver our personal definition of happiness. It assures us He\u2019ll order the events of our lives to refine us and make us more like His Son. Only there will we find the deep and abiding joy we crave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Haddon Spurgeon once shared that New Zealanders have a word for hope that signifies \u201cthe swimming thought.\u201d He used the term to describe the hope God offers, \u201cbecause when all other thoughts are drowned, hope still swims.\u201d3<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are ten reasons from God\u2019s Word for you to swim in hope this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 10 Biblical Reasons to Have Hope<\/strong> today and every day.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. God is good.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We never have to question God\u2019s motives or methods. He cannot act outside His nature, and His nature is always good. We can trust Him, even when He allows circumstances that aren\u2019t good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I say to myself, \u201cThe Lord is my portion: therefore I will wait for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, 
to the one who seeks him; 
it is good to wait quietly 
for the salvation of the Lord. (Lamentations 3:24\u201326 niv)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. God is faithful.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In a world of broken promises, God\u2019s character holds fast. He is a promise-keeping God. As Joshua declared to the Israelites, \u201cNot one of all the good promises the LORD your God gave you has failed\u201d (Josh. 23:14 niv). We can trust Him for the future based on His faithfulness in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:23 niv)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

3. God never leaves us or forsakes us.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of Satan\u2019s sneakiest lies tells us that God abandons us in our distress. God\u2019s Word says otherwise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaiah 43:1\u20132 esv tells us: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cFear not, for I have redeemed you; 
I have called you by name, you are mine. 
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; 
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; 
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, 
and the flame shall not consume you.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

4. God knows everything.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The longer we live, the more aware we become of how limited our understanding is. This awareness becomes especially keen during our parenting years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How should we educate our children? How should we discipline them? What\u2019s the best way to impart spiritual truth? These questions and many more can overwhelm us if we forget that God, who knows everything, eagerly shares His wisdom with us when we ask (James 1:5<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! (Romans 11:33 niv)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

5. God never stops loving us.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many wrongly assume God\u2019s love is based on our performance. When we \u201cfail\u201d God in some way, we believe He will wipe His holy hands of us and direct His love toward someone more worthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can learn to rest in the security of God\u2019s love when we take to heart verses like Titus 3:4\u20135, which remind us that because we did nothing to earn God\u2019s love, we can\u2019t do anything to lose it. God loves us. Period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. (Titus 3:4\u20135 niv)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

6. God always hears our prayers.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When my children were little, I could pick out their cries above the voices of a dozen children. Their slightest whimper awakened me in the middle of the night. But even my Super Mom ears didn\u2019t hear every request for help or comfort. God, however, never misses a whisper, especially when we pray. Although His answer is sometimes long in coming, we can rest in hope because His ears are always attentive to the cries of His children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry.(Psalm 34:15 niv)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

7. God is trustworthy.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It took me many years to learn to trust God. Frankly, I\u2019m still learning. Every detour from the path I think I should be on invites me to revisit my faith and confidence. Ultimately, my response comes down to one question: Do I trust God? <\/em>Do I believe He knows what\u2019s best for me, even when it looks different than what I\u2019d hoped for? Can God use hardship, trials, sickness, and loss for my good and His glory? Is His holy plan better than my human plan?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

As for God, his way is perfect. (Psalm 18:30 niv)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

8. God renews us day by day.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mothers are the hardest working people on the planet. I don\u2019t have statistical data to back this up, but I know from experience that, unlike other professions or callings, a mother\u2019s job never ends. From before her first child awakens to long after her last child closes his eyes, she is working. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nurse, educator, counselor, chauffeur, housekeeper, shopper, seamstress, chef, instructor, advisor, the job description goes on and on. Only through the supernatural empowering of the Holy Spirit can we even begin to accomplish our to-do list. The good news, the hope-filled news, is that each morning brings new mercies and a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit when we admit our helplessness and lean on God\u2019s strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. (2 Corinthians 4:16 niv)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. God never wastes pain.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jesus warned His disciples that we would have trouble in this life. We\u2019re not immune to the effects of living in a sinful world. Sickness, loss, trials, and a multitude of other challenges can cause us to doubt God\u2019s purposes. \u201cWhy, Lord?\u201d we ask, and wonder if God is cruel. Or, worse yet, that He doesn\u2019t care at all. The Bible assures us that while we may not understand why, we can hope in the promise that God never wastes pain. He always uses it to accomplish His purposes in our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God\u2019s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. (Romans 5:3\u20135 niv)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

10. God is generous.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For many years, I subconsciously viewed God as a miser. Verses like 1 Timothy 6:8 esv, \u201cBut if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content,\u201d led me to believe God was a minimalist. That He would fulfill His obligation to feed and clothe me, but nothing more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the more I read God\u2019s Word and learned His character, I discovered that our Father in heaven loves to \u201cgive good things to those who ask him\u201d (Matt. 7:11 niv). He invites us to \u201cOpen wide your mouth and I will fill it\u201d (Psalm 81:10 niv). He delights in blessing us with unexpected demonstrations of His love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

No good thing does he withhold 
from those who walk uprightly. (Psalm 84:11 esv)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I pray that these ten biblical reasons and the thousands more tucked into the pages of Scripture will \u201cfill you with all joy and peace\u201d and cause you to \u201coverflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit\u201d (Romans 15:13 niv).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May hope swim in your life forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
