We've entered the kitchen, each arm filled with a heavy grocery bag. We look for a place where we can adequately unload. We amble by the counter realizing there is not enough room, and on the other side seeing a puddle of spilled drink.

Life is like this, we are ambling around looking for a spot in which to place our hope. But nothing is worthy. No nook, shelf, phonestand is able to securely bear the weight of such a hope.

Only one thing will present itself to be worthy of our hope. It is the future revealing of Jesus Christ to us. A grace will be given to us.

Our hope is worth something. Where will we deposit it? Where will it be invested? "Set your hope fully..." There ahead is the empty kitchen table with room enough to more than house our bags. There we can securely set our bags and rest our arms. What grand potential of hope exists when it is rightly placed! Praise the Lord for the hope of His revealing!
