Only one who has cried de profundis can really appreciate the meaning of hope. What drives some to atheism is not a genuinely biblical hope but an insensitive optimism masquerading as such hope'. Perhaps John Macquarrie could have extended this idea to God's being with us in all our times and testings - when we abound, and when we are abased. We're not to settle down here permanently - not even on the top of a mountain. Life is most enjoyable when serendipitous.
Satisfaction is in the journeying, rather than the arriving.
Lord, your will be done.
