Who is the Woman Who Can Hope?
First - the woman who doesn't hope is heart sick - Proverbs 13:12 "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life."
Second - the woman who does hope puts her expectation in her righteousness found in Christ alone and looks to eternal glory. - Proverbs 10:28 "The hope of the righteous brings joy, but the expectation of the wicked will perish."
Three Attributes in Proverbs of a Woman who Hopes
- A woman who hopes turns from sin - Proverbs 19:18
- A woman who hopes fears the Lord - Proverbs 23:17-18
- A woman who hopes is humble - Proverbs 26:12
Is Hope up to Me?
Hope will not disappear if we "loose hope!" Hope is firm and secure because of what Christ accomplished on the cross! Hope is not dependent on our performance or optimism. Read Hebrews 6 for this encouragement!
