“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.” Romans 15:13
People who struggle in life need hope. Without it all desire fades and
despair sets in to destroy. Hope instills new energy inspires trust in God’s
deliverance and encourages us to make it through another day.
Such hope is not the result of positive thinking. It comes as a
transaction of the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer. It pushes back the
clouds of gloom and pessimism, bringing the light of God’s promised deliverance
and restoration. Hope serves as an anchor in the storm, tethering believers to
the Lord’s love and mercy.
