Hope increases our faith

Greetings:
In studying the Word of God we see the words hope and faith used in many instances.
Are they one in the same?
What is hope and how is it different than faith?
We have probably heard –– My hope is with the Lord, my faith is in the Lord. 
How are these really different? 
Hope is a looking forward to the future with great expectations that things will turn out well.  It is looking forward to a vacation or a special event.  Hope is joyful anticipation.  Hope is having a positive outlook, being optimistic.
Faith is the solid foundation that we stand upon at all times.  It is the here and now of our belief.
In Hebrews 11:1 we do read that hope and faith are intermingled. It reads: “Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.”
Read Jeremiah 17:5-8 and you'll better understand the kind of hope God is talking about.  You will be able to rest of the promise and hope of good things.
“This is what the Lord says: "Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans and turn their hearts away from the Lord. They are like stunted shrubs in the desert, with no hope for the future. They will live in the barren wilderness, on the salty flats where no one lives. "But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they go right on producing delicious fruit.”
Paul reminds us in Romans 8:24-25 (NLT): “We were given this hope when we were saved. If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it.  But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.”
In Psalm 10:17 (NLT), we read: Lord, you know the hopes of the helpless. Surely you will hear their cries and comfort them.
And we get good advice in Psalm 94:19 (NLT), which reads: “When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.
Hope is an uplifting, spiritual feeling, a deep rooted conviction to believe.
Hope gives us strength in the bad times. Hope gives us the push and the 'keep on going' drive when our body and mind tells us to stop and give up. 
In simple terms, our faith gives us hope in the Lord. Our faith that God will keep his promise gives us hope.
Be blessed.
