Elpis (el-pece’)
(Warning: The following is my own perspective and
inspired thought about that Greek word.)
I think Jehovah sneaky,
with His sense of humor, is reminding us where true hope is found. To me “el” points to
Elohim, the one true God, and “pis” sounds like the word “peace.” Get it?
“God’s peace” in Greek is translated to “hope” in English in the following:
May the God who gives hope
fill you with great joy. May you have perfect peace as you trust in him. May
the power of the Holy Spirit fill you with hope. i
Yes, I’ll have some of that
hope, joy, peace, trust and power of the Holy Spirit, please, today!
What’s your word
for today?
i Romans 15:13, New International Reader’s Version
