This is the fifth and final week of our series “Brand New.” We love the brand new because it fills us with hope. One might say that there are three different kinds of hope.


There is casual hope for the small things in life. Often, we love brand-new things because we find casual hope in them. When casual hopes fail, we are disappointed but we move on.


Then, there are precious hopes. Precious hopes run far deeper and involve a greater investment of our lives. We have precious hopes for our family, our friendships, and our work. When we lose precious hopes or suffer setbacks with them, it can be heartbreaking.


Finally, there is ultimate hope. Our ultimate hope is the hope that can get us through all the difficulties and challenges of life. It is vitally important that we set our hearts on the right ultimate hope and not confuse precious hopes with casual hopes.


Pray today that you will set your heart on the right ultimate hope.
