Romans 15:13 – One of my many messages from God this month. I am currently doing a Beth Moore study on the Patriarchs and we are covering a large portion of Genesis (the first book in the Old Testament). The morning after I was admitted into the hospital, via the ER, Eric brought me a few things I had requested from home. My Bible Study book was among those things. What a great opportunity to spend some extra time with God – the One who sees me. I picked up where I had left off a few days beforehand, which happened to be in the middle of the lesson. It was to look up Romans 15:13 and record what it 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.”
WOW! Talk about God meeting me where I was. Oh how I needed to hear those words. I read it every day – several times a day – as a reminder that God is with me. He cares. He is my Hope, my source of joy and peace in a scary and uncertain situation.
I hope you are encouraged by those words as well today. Hope On dear friends! Hope On!
