Hope and faith are two great pillars of the Christian life. Interwoven and inseparable, they can be best understood by considering their connection as revealed in A Daily Dose of Devotion. Skip Cole has dedicated a chapter to discussing how these virtues may transform your life.
Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as “confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” This verse is foundational, pointing out the connection between believing God’s promises and trusting in their fulfillment. Hope gives us the strength to endure the challenges, but faith allows us to trust that God’s plan is unfolding exactly as it should.
Skip Cole illustrates these ideas masterly with reflections that resonate and reach readers from all walks of life. His personal writing yet speaks universally, drawing forth scripture and real life to paint a picture of faithfulness. It is a guide for the uncertain, reminding them how hope is not wishful thinking but rather a confident expectation by virtue of God’s very character.
Faith is not easy to maintain at times, especially during trials. Still, hope and faith shine brightest in these times. Skip Cole’s devotional offers practical encouragement, urging readers to keep an anchor on God’s promises even in bleak circumstances. The stories and scripture remind him that God is always there, even when his presence cannot be seen or felt.
One of the most powerful aspects of this book is the emphasis on God’s unchanging love. While our faith fails and our hope wavers, God remains firm. He becomes the anchor for our souls, providing stability and strength in the midst of life’s storms. If we feed hope and faith, we are lining up with His will so that His peace can fill our hearts.
Power is not just found in hope and faith at great moments. Rather, it exists in everyday moments in the small trusting and believing of God’s promises. Skip Cole’s book wonderfully depicts this and inspires readers to lean in more to their faith and rejoice in their relationship with Him.
