Joy and Peace in Believing

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

"God of hope" Isn't that a wonderful title for God? He gives us hope. It's because of Him that we are not in despair. It's because of Him that we can look forward to a future in heaven instead of an eternity in hell.

"Joy and peace in believing" It's because we believe that we can live a life of joy and peace. God desires to give us joy. That joy brings a deep settled peace to our lives.

"Power of the Holy Spirit" All of this is enabled by the power of the Holy Spirit living in us every day.

Thank You, Lord, for the hope, joy, peace and power that You give to my life. Without You, I would be nothing. Help me to only rely on You for everything in my life. Help me to be completely committed to following You only in my life.
