Confident Hope!

For Wednesday, May 19, 2021

Romans 15:13 NLT, Paul speaking: “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.”

Paul is praying that the promises of Jesus and Father God would fall upon the believers. These believers are in the church in Rome, but the promises could be for believers anywhere. The promises of God are for us today, too!

Friends, in spite of the fact that we will all die someday, there is abundant Good News — we are promised life after this life! Once resurrected, the question becomes, where will you be spending your time? Our hope is in the promises of Jesus, knowing how he paid the price for our sin so we could spend eternity with the Father. That’s where we’ll be – count on it! The Holy Spirit fills us with this confident hope!

Jesus promised us that everything would be OK!

Blessings and safety today!
