The scripture is encouraging us to remain faithful because in the mist of impossibilities God has the power to fulfill his promises.

Hope is an essential element of faith. Our faith is based on hope.

felistus's comment on 2014-12-29 05:59:36:

The scripture is just telling us that there is better hope than the hope that we can be offered by this world God himself is the Hope that we should believe in against all false hope that can be offered by this world there is better hope who is Jesus Christ the author and the finisher of our faith

That the man who believes in God, not just his word, but also in the person of God, needs no further facts to trust. Some will wait for God, but here we see a man who 'waited with God' till the promise would be fulfilled. Even after every probable cause had been utterly done away with, when all hope was removed, his faith sprung up and grasped that which was promised. Hebrews 6:13-18; Hebrews 11:13-16.
