Trust and Hope

“Isaiah says, “The Root of Jesse will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; the Gentiles will hope in him.” May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. ” Romans 15:12-13 (NIV)

Overflowing hope . . . Now that is something to consider! Yet, it is not just hope that overflows every doubt and fear, but a hope empowered by the Holy Spirit.

What a way to live . . . minute-by-minute hope generated by the Holy Spirit. Hope that is so strong that nothing can defeat it. Hope that is so certain that fear cannot drive it away. Hope that flows from the throne of God.

Hope that is based on the promises and prophecies of God. Joyful hope. Peaceful hope. Trusting hope.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Dear Father, thank you for the hope you give us through Jesus Christ. May we be full and overflowing with hope as we trust you. This I pray in the name of Jesus. AMEN

Be encouraged today as you trust God in hope,
