Romans 15:13 God of Hope

My hope is in the Lord.  Romans 15:13 says “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”  Hope is a confident desire.  I have been reading, studying, and writing about the internal joy which the Holy Spirit gives to the believer.  As I trust in God I experience the joy and peace promised in God’s Word.  I do not put my hope and trust in things of the world.  They will pass away.  “The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever” (1 John 2:17).  In this promise lies my hope.  My hope is in God and His promises.  The Holy Spirit gives me the power to be bold in my faith and constant in my hope.   I pray that the light of my hope will overflow and touch the lives of others.
