Hope for the World

By Pastor John Hagee

In a world overwhelmed by fear, confusion, and chaos, the Word of God calls us to a higher perspective: “Hope thou in God” (Psalm 42:5). King David faced giants that seemed impossible to defeat, yet he fixed his heart on the unchanging promises of the Lord. True hope isn’t blind optimism—it’s confident expectation grounded in God’s Word. The Hebrew word Yachal means to wait expectantly, trusting that God’s answer is on the way. America, and every believer within it, must return to that foundation of faith—because without God, there is no lasting hope.

The world’s systems are failing, but God’s Word never fails. The prophet Jeremiah reminds us, “For I know the plans I have for you… to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11). Hope is the companion of power and the mother of success. It produces joy in the darkest hour and faith that stands unshaken. Even in turmoil, the believer can declare, “Be joyful in hope” (Romans 12:12). When you think hope, speak hope, and live hope, you bring light into darkness and strength to a weary world. Today, anchor your heart in the one truth that never changes—our hope is in God.
