What is it that you hope for?

Romans 15:13

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

Hmmm.....I love this. May the God of hope.....so that....you may abound in hope.


Our God is the source of hope and he wants us to abound in it!

I was reading something earlier this week that spoke of hope as something we must have in order to survive...without it, we will die. Physically and spiritually we must have hope in order to live.

Psalm 62:5
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.

Isaiah 40:31
but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Hope is believing with expectation and trusting. Faith is acting on that hope even when the situation your in looks less than promising.

Put your hope today in the one who loves you like no other.

Confide in Him, rest in his hands.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Jesus is your hope, sister....He is literally the rope come down to save you.
