I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13 NLT, Tyndale House Publishers
I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
As humans, we have the tendency to place our hope and even our faith in lots of “things”. We hope and trust in the manufacture of things, that it will operate the way it was intended. I sit in my desk chair every morning without thinking about it because I believe it will hold me. We have an extended warranty on appliances, equipment and devices to ensure that if something does happen, we can fix it unless you are like my husband then you opt-out of every extended warrantee.
We mindlessly believe that when our loved ones leave in the morning they will return in the evening. Why, because they have done it so many times before. We place our hope, our faith, in past experiences. What I have learned in this life is that just because something once was doesn’t mean it will continue to be.
