The Hope of This World

"This nation is the hope of the earth."
Mitt Romney in the presidential debate (October 22, 2012)

"America remains the one indispensable nation."
Barack Obama in the presidential debate (October 22, 2012)

By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness,
O God of our salvation,
the hope of all the ends of the earth
and of the farthest seas.
Psalms 65:5 (ESV)

 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope 
1 Timothy 1:1 (ESV)


We are not the world's hope. The one who is our hope is everyone else's hope. Some days we are blessed to be involved in the process of sharing that hope. But let us never confuse our blessing with being the hope.

I am never the hope of the world.

We are never the hope of the world.

He is always the hope of the world.

Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. (Proverbs 16:18 ESV).
