W@W WRAP – Week 430

Hope Against All Hope – “Hope is the ability to see a beginning in what currently looks like an end.” (Jürgen Moltmann) Hope is not wishful thinking—it’s the deep, steady assurance that everything will be okay, even if the outcome looks different than we imagined. True hope is rooted not in circumstances, but in the One who holds all things together. Hope dares to look into the face of pain, loss, and uncertainty—yet chooses to believe that God is good. That He is at work. That beauty can rise from ashes. Like Abraham, we are called to hope against all hope (Romans 4:18–22), trusting in God’s promises even when reality says otherwise. Hope may feel like a paradox, but it leads us closer to our Father God. It holds grief and joy, sorrow and praise, waiting and fulfilment—all at once. When we hope in the Lord, He renews our strength, lifts our eyes, fills our hearts, and enables us to accomplish more than we can ever think or imagine, all in and through Him. (Isaiah 40:31, Habakkuk 3:17–18 & Romans 15:13)
