Wishful hope

Having a wishful hope is a having a false hope.  We can hope that we will get richer, or that we'll get thinner.  This type of hope is not based on reality.  It's merely a fanciful dream of a preferred future.

Wishful thinking stems from the imaginations of your evil heart.  As Christians, we know that God's word is the only truth!  The dumbest thing you could ever do is follow your own heart.  We are all sinners, and the only difference between those who follow their own heart, is those that follow Jesus.

The good news about Jesus is that He offers hope beyond this life, beyond the grave.

I'll talk about 'certain hope' in tomorrow's blog.

The bottom line is this: Don't waste your time on wishful thinking. In the Bible, hope is not wishful thinking but a confident expectation.

Proverbs 21:2 – "Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord weighs the hearts."
