Bible Commentary

Proverbs 10:28

Hope is not merely optimism — the righteous person's hope is rooted in God and will be fulfilled in gladness. The wicked person's expectation, not rooted in truth, will perish.

Memory phrase: Righteous hope leads to joy.

Talk about it: What is something you are really hoping for? Is it a hope you can trust God with?

Prayer: God, I put my hope in You. I know it will lead to gladness — because You keep Your promises.
