daily word - hope and optimism

Do you think hope and optimism are the same thing? Optimists can be wrong. Is hope wishful thinking, or is there real substance to it? The Bible refers to faith as the substance of things hoped for. So in a description of a mystery expressed in lyrical beauty the Bible connects the concepts of faith and hope with substance. And so the transcendent realm makes contact with the world of physical reality. You don’t know what will happen tomorrow, but you need a reason to get out of bed in the morning. Do you believe that reality has a shape and direction, making it worth your effort to move ahead? That is something to be optimistic about.
