"Hope is a helmet protecting our head and it is the anchor of our soul.  One of
the Hebrew words for hope is 'refuge.' Either we can choose to make God our
refuge and have hope, or put our trust in something else and be hopeless!"
Geri McGhee
Heb 6:19  "This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and
steadfast and one which enters within the veil."
Rom 5:1-5  "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through
our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace
wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but
we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And
patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because
the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given
unto us."
Rom 15:13 "Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing,
so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
Act 2:25-26  "For David says of Him, 'I SAW THE LORD ALWAYS IN MY PRESENCE; FOR
HE IS AT MY RIGHT HAND, SO THAT I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN. THEREFORE MY HEART WAS
GLAD AND MY TONGUE EXULTED; MOREOVER MY FLESH ALSO WILL LIVE IN HOPE."
"But since we are of the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of
faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation."
I Thessalonians 5:8
