Hope
Romans 5:1-11
by Tan Huai Tze
The hope that God gives is a certain assurance that God will keep those who are his and perfect them. There is an objective basis for this hope: the love of God demonstrated in the death of Christ for sinners. But then, there is also the subjective experience of this hope when God's Spirit pours his love into our hearts.

Faith
Habakkuk 3
by Tan Huai Tze
We need faith, a trusting surrender to God and his promises to help us through this season. Through the prophet Habakkuk, we find a path to this faith through rehearsing the mighty acts of God, reminding ourselves of the character of God, and having a resolve to trust in God no matter the circumstances. And we do so joyfully when we see God's greatest act in history in sending Jesus to die and rise again for our sins.
