Romans 15:13 – Joy and Peace

by northwestjim, posted in Garden Moments

Romans 15:13
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.

EVERYBODY wants peace and joy.
NOT everybody has them.

One reason is that we get stuck “under the circumstances”.

We loose sight of what God

  • Has done.
  • Is doing
  • Will do.

When that happens to me,

  • I loose HOPE.
  • I think in the moment of my fears.

I think that reality is defined by the “crisis du jour”

I forget to THINK ETERNALLY.

Praying..

  • to look past circumstances
  • to live in HOPE
  • to live in light of eternity
