“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 15:13 NIVUK
One definition of hope is, ‘a feeling of trust,’ and this verse reminds us that our God can be trusted, He always keeps His promises, His love never fails, and putting our trust in Him will bear good fruit! If you are losing hope right now, if delayed or deferred hope is making your heart sick, if what you have been hoping for hasn’t happened leaving you feeling disappointed or even depressed and anxious, then don’t run from God, that will only exacerbate the pain, run to Him, He is the God of hope! Lord Jesus, as I trust in You today, as I stand on Your Word reminding myself what You have already done for me, and as I praise Your name, may joy and peace spring up within me causing hope to rise and overflow through me. Amen 🙏🏼😊
