Filled With Hope, Joy, and Peace

December 26, 2023

"Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost." Romans 15:13

Now that all the gifts have been unwrapped and the surprised looks on our loved ones faces have been completed, what’s next? Regardless of whether we received what we wanted or not, all hope should not be lost, because our hope is not in things, but in The Lord. The Scripture reminds us, now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. I encourage you today not to be discouraged but keep your hope in God. Remember you serve a God of hope, and the God you serve will fill you with all joy. The joy The Lord has for you is not wrapped in gifts that are here today and gone tomorrow, but His joy is an everlasting joy. The joy that The Lord gives no one can take. Not only will The Lord give you joy, He will also give you peace. Do not lose hope because of what you may be going through, but keep the hope of The Lord active and burning bright in your life. As you go throughout the rest of this season, I pray for you as this Scripture does, May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace, and may hope spring eternal in your life, and may the power of the Holy Ghost lead you into all the great blessings God has in store for your life, both now and forever. I thank God for joy and peace, and hope knowing no matter how dark my days may become, there is a bright side somewhere, and I will not rest until I find it. Because the joy and peace of The Lord has filled me with hope eternal, I am overjoyed in knowing, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

Lord thank you for your peace that keeps me in every season of my life. Thank you for giving me joy that cannot be taken from me, and thank you for the hope I have in Jesus, and I know that you are always with me and greater days are coming my way. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
