Faith is the assured expectation of what is hoped for.—Heb. 11:1.

 

What a wonderful hope true Christians share! All of us, whether of the anointed or of the “other sheep,” hope to see the fulfillment of God’s original purpose and the sanctification of Jehovah’s name. (John 10:16; Matt. 6:9, 10) Such expectations are the most noble any human can cherish. We also long for the promised reward of everlasting life, either as part of God’s “new heavens” or as part of his “new earth.” (2 Pet. 3:13) In the meantime, we hope for the continued increase of the spiritual prosperity of God’s people. Those who are part of Satan’s world also have some sort of hope, but they may doubt whether theirs will ever be realized. For example, millions of gamblers may hope to win a lottery, but they could hardly feel sure about that. Real faith, on the other hand, is “the assured expectation” of our Christian hope. w16.10 3:1, 2

Do we know if this is the date it was presented?  Could it have been Wednesday, May 16, 2018 instead?  Or perhaps January 18, 2018?

The video theme is "Assured Expectation"

 

Wednesday, May 16, 2018

Faith is . . . the evident demonstration of realities that are not seen.—Heb. 11:1.  "Assured Expectation" is not quoted in the daily text scripture for May 16, 2018. 

 

Thursday, January 18

Faith is . . . the convincing evidence of realities that are not seen.—Heb. 11:1, ftn. "Assured Expectation" is not quoted in the daily text scripture for January 18, 2018.

 

But "Assured Expectation" is not quoted in the text for January 16, 2016. It could be taken from 2016. I just went with the more recent text that had "Assured Expectation" in the daily text scripture.

Does it matter?

It sure does if your trying to identify the date the morning worship was given. Sometimes it's very clear when it was given, but at other times it can be a bit harder to pinpoint the date. In this case there were multiple days with the same scripture, so in such a case you need to look at details such as "assured expectation".

What I got from this is that momentary lack of faith is not a big deal.  It happened to faithful men of old, it happens to us sometimes. Jehovah doesn't think less of us when it happens

My question remains: does it matter?

Well, I guess it does for those that want to know the date, and see what the brother's comments were based on. 

 

What definitely matters to all of us, is the information presented in the talk. 🙂
