Proverbs 10 v 28 reads,'The hope of the righteous shall be gladness; but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.'We can bring this into the New Covenant , the righteous being true Christians, and the wicked being non-Christians. So what has the Christian got that the non-Christian does not have?,hope,a hope that goes beyond circumstances,goes beyond death itself. It was Voltaire who said,''I hate life,yet I am afraid to die'', That was a man with no hope, the Christian has hope because he 'she,is loved by the God of hope,that love that drew salvations plan,and brought it down to the unlovely, the demoralized, the desperate, and the downcast.None of us were innocent,far from it,but He embraced us with His love forgiving us ,and filling us with his love,through Jesus,and give us hope in this life and in the life to come. Yes the hope of the righteous shall be gladness.
'O happy day ! that fixed my choice
On Thee , my Saviour and my God;'
