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‘

Think about the joy you experience when you master something for the first time. Maybe you’ve learned a foreign language well enough to communicate with native speakers. Or you put in kilometer after kilometer and finally crossed the finish line of a marathon. It could also be that you worked for years to earn your college degree and finally stood on that stage receiving your diploma. Despite all the emotions, joy always comes first.

We tend to make the mistake of seeking joy outside of God. When we value ourselves by the opinions of others, our salary, or our social status, we miss out on real joy. We miss the joy in the journey, the joy of discovery, the joy of a heart open to God.

All good things come from God, and he rejoices in all good things. He’s the only one who can bring us true joy, peace, and hope. It is important to note that this impartation of hope requires the power of the Holy Spirit, who makes this hope transfer possible. Whatever you’re going through today, trust in the Lord and ask the Spirit to give you hope!

Let us pray:

Dear Lord, almighty Heavenly Father, You are not the God of despair, nor the God of darkness, but the God of Hope. Thank You for reminding me that I can overcome anything with the power of Holy Spirit as I put my trust in You. With You, anything is possible. Please overflow me with Your perfect peace and joy in all areas of my life. Help me to not look to others for joy but always seek joy in You. Thank you dear Lord, almighty Heavenly Father. I pray this throughout the mighty, glorious, fulfilling name, of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Much LoVe, JoY, Peace and Blessings in Jesus Christ, our almighty, wonderful, infinite loving, glorious dear Lord, Saviour and Redeemer.
