The Blue Hope, is ironically named the Hope diamond, after it's purchaser Henry Thomas Hope. The name is ironic due to the long run of bad luck that it seemed to bring to it's owners. When Harry Winston, the New York diamond merchant bought the stone in 1949, the clients he tried to sell it too, refused the purchase.
The Diamond is now on display at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington. Unlike this diamond 1 Corinthians 13 v 13 tells us that these three remain: Faith, Hope and Love. I don't think it was mere co-incidence that there is a double 13 in the reference. God is far to interested in details to miss that point. I think he is telling us, not to swayed by bad luck, but that through him, all things are turned to the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to his purpose. [Romans 8 v 28]
We can place our confident hope in God at all times and know that he is working in us and through us. Hope is an anchor to the soul and when deployed will give stability in even the most tumultuous times. Put your hope and faith in God today.
