Faith and the Father
Faith is the substance of things hoped for. We can have hope that is little more than just that, or we can possess hope that is more than hope. Peter says that we have living hope - That is faith making our hopes have substance. We hope that that the Father is on our side, that he cares about the things that we feel are important, that he will hear and answer our prayers. When we have faith, not just trusting and hoping, but living alive to all that we hope for . . . then we are really living beneath the shadow of a benevolent father that loves us and lavished good gifts on us, all to ready to hear and answer.
