Whatever point your hope runs out your misery begins in its most profound sense. The Bible even says If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable 1Cor 15:19
Where there is no hope there is a kind of profound inescapable misery Hope deferred makes the heart sick…(Provebs 13:12) Our relationships explode our best dreams never are realized this is life and were it not for hope we would not be able to find our way beyond the moment’s pain and so God has given us a common grace just in general to humanity. Life in this world is very difficult, we live in a fallen world a sinful world, we are sinful people in this world everything around us is dying sin dominates our world, it dominates our life, and death is inevitable for everyone and we experience it and experience it again and again and again and the people around us who die Life can be very very difficult. They set their heart on something better to come to a new path a new person in their life, a fresh opportunity a better hope than anything perhaps they had hoped for in the past, there’s some resilience in the human heart and this is a common grace this is a gift of God to make life livable. There are events that do not turn out the way we want them to turn out, THIS IS LIFE, and through the pain of those moments in life, through the agonizing anxiety, pressure, fear, and worry that is produced by those kinds of things, people look to the future.
HOPE DEFERRED MAKES THE HEART SICK FULL
It is a gift to all of created humanity, it is a way to cope, it is a necessary faculty that we have to mitigate our pain and our suffering and our sorrow because life is filled with disappointments, all kinds, from maybe the trivial kind of disappointments to the most profound and painful, life is filled with unfulfilled ambitions, desires that never are materialized or realized relationships that are full of love and joy and all of a sudden explode and pain and sorrow and bitterness. One of the common graces that God gives us is HOPE, I say a common grace because it is basically common to everybody, whether you are a Christian or non-Christian you live with a measure of hope.
