What We Hope For

“Hope’s not a strategy.”

“You’re new here, aren’t you?”

— dialogue in Mission Impossible: Fallout

[Let’s spend the month of August 2018 looking at some quotes, lines, memes, and other timeless ephemera — how’s that for an oxymoron? — that are too good not to share. Let’s contextualize some, let’s dissect others, and let’s simply enjoy still others. Let’s go!]

“What is faith?” asks our New Testament in Hebrews 11. 

Comes the answer in the same Hebrews 11, “It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead.”

“Hope’s not a strategy.”
