The
Power Of Hope
Hope
is the driving instinct of the Believer
and will always stimulate affection for
an unswerving love for the Word of God.
Only Christians who acknowledge their
hope in
Christ
will pray fervently and faithfully and
are committed doers of the Word and
cannot be displaced by another kind of
usefulness. For
Daniel (Daniel
6:10), nothing was more conspicuous
about him than his hope in God. Daniel's
God through hope swayed his intellect,
enriched his emotions and filled and
enlarged his heart. And all this was so
because Daniel was preeminently a man of
hope. Daniel's consecration stood
out distinctly like a towering mountain
peak. Why is this? How did he ascend to
these heights? What brought him so near
to God? What made him so Christ-like?
The answer is easy: the power of
hope! Thus, he prayed
much, he prayed strong. He asked, he
sought, and he knocked and there was
God. Christians of hope always value the
liberty and necessity of prayer. They
esteem it, prize it, and do it.
Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger
