“Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13 (NAS)
Aren’t you glad that you believe in and serve the God of hope? Not the god of distress and depression. Not the god of fear and failure. Rather, our God is the one who inspires us with hope. Hope in the midst of troubles! Hope in the midst sorrow! Hope when disease comes! Hope when circumstances would bring despair! Hope for today! Hope for tomorrow! Hope for eternity!!!!!!!!!!!!
By the power of the Holy Spirit, God fills us with joy and gives us peace through it all. By the power of the Holy Spirit, God instills our belief so that we are encouraged by an increasing hope in him. Glory to his holy name!
Aren’t you glad you are filled with hope and peace and joy and faith? Aren’t you glad you believe in God? Don’t you wish everyone did?
Dear Father and our God, thank you for this wonderful gift of hope. Inspire us to live in hope everyday. Enable us daily to share this hope with others. I pray this in the name of Jesus. AMEN
Be encouraged today in the God of hope,
