Each of us is sustained by hope—the belief that the future is brighter. Hope comforts us, unites us, and draws us forward. When the Israelites stood on the bank of the Jordan, their hearts were filled with hope. One day, we, too, will cross the Jordan, and this hope sustains us even today. “Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)
