hope, (place of) refuge, shelter, trust
Concise Bible Dictionary:
This is described as waiting for something that is not seen but which has been promised. Rom (8:24-25). Blessed is the man whose hope the Lord is; though troubles arise he will not cease to bear fruit (Jer. 17:7-8). There is nothing vague in the Christian’s hope: it is an anchor of the soul, sure and steadfast, because the Lord Himself is his hope, and Christ in him is the hope of glory (Col. 1:27; 1 Tim. 1:1; Heb. 6:18-19). The coming of the Lord, and not death, is a blessed part of the Christian’s hope (1 Thess. 4:13-18; 1 John 3:2-3).
