Hope and Desire

For our third lesson on hope, we turn to the topic of desire. Scripture teaches us that one thing is necessary and one thing alone is the fountain out of which all desires must spring. The psalmist says it this way: “One thing have I asked of the Lord, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.” Jesus says it this way, "Seek first the kingdom of God, and everything else will be added.” What do you desire? For what do you seek? And from what does your hope spring?
