An excerpt from "Crosswalk.com" entitled, "How Do We Do as Paul Says and 'Be Joyful In Hope'? by Whitney Hopler, states: "Being joyful in hope means choosing faith in every situation, trusting God because we’re confident that our hope in him is real. “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” Hebrews 11:1 declares. While we don’t yet see what will happen in the future, we can hope for the best, and be confident in faith that God will do what’s best for us as we trust him. No matter what circumstances we encounter in this fallen world, we can experience joy in hope, because joy is based on our relationships with the God who offers us hope."
