Hope
We live with great expectation, and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see. So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while.
We all have an expectation for good in our lives, even in the midst of adversity. At times we place our hope in things that fail us or don’t last, but God gives us something to hope in that can never be taken away: the hope of heaven. Looking forward to eternal life with our Creator gives us confident joy in the face of uncertainty. As we meditate on the wonderful promise of eternity, it anchors our souls in the peace of knowing we have a future with him.
