13 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 (NIV)
Grovel not in things below, among earthly cares, pleasures, anxieties,
toils, if thou wouldst have a good strong hope on high. Lift up thy cares
with thy heart to God, if thou wouldst hope in Him. Then see what in thee
is most displeasing to God. This it is which holdeth thy hope down. Strike
firmly, repeatedly, in the might of God, until it give way. Thy hope will
soar at once with thy thanks to God who delivered thee.
E.B. Pusey
What fills Christians with joy? Money? Job security? Social status?
A. Money
B. Job security
C. Social status
D. None of the above
Hopefully after reading Romans 15:13 you chose D. None of the above
The "God of hope" if our filler of joy and peace. It is through our trust in him that we are filled with joy and peace. All worldly things are fleeting, mostly beyond our control and certainly not eternal.
