Power of Hope




 

Have you ever stopped to wonder what it is that keeps you going from day-to-day? What lies behind your ability to fight your way through periods of discouragement or disappointment? What makes you believe that sooner or later bad times will get better?

It is a little, four-letter word that has endless power in it; power to bring failures back to success; power to bring the sick back to strength. It is hope.

There is something about hope that makes clear thinking possible. When you are faced with a problem, do you regard it with hope, or with dejection? If you hope there is a solution, if you believe that somewhere there is a solution, you are probably going to find it.

We should never write off anything as impossible or as a failure. God gave us the capacity to think our way through any problem. The hopeful thinker projects hope and faith into the darkest situation, and lights it up. As long as the thought of defeat is kept out of a person’s mind, victory is certain to come sooner or later.

Hope has the quality of expectancy in it. When you hope strongly, something in you expects to have that hope realized. And this invisible called expectancy, which is closely allied to faith, can affect events in a remarkable way. What people think you expect to them, they will usually deliver. And what your own subconscious mind thinks you expect of it, it will deliver. When you hope strongly enough, expectancy goes to work for you. And when expectancy turns the key, great things will happen.

  A businessman was returning home on horseback from the annual fair in a nearby city. He had quite a big sum of money with him. It was raining heavily and the poor man was wet to the skin. He was in a bad mood and grumbled that God had given him such terrible weather for his journey. He entered a thick forest. All of a sudden, to his horror, he found himself face to face with a bandit whose finger was already on the trigger of his gun. He would not have been saved from death, except for the fact that the rain had caused the powder to dampen and the gun was useless. The businessman spurred his horse and happily escaped the danger. When he was out of danger he said to himself: “How stupid I was to moan about the bad weather, instead of accepting it patiently as a gift of God. If there had been a clear sky and the air dry and limpid, I would now be lying in a ditch covered in blood and in vain would my children wait my arrival. The rain which I was ready ...
