How do you start your day? Before your feet hit the floor, is your mind already thinking on the multitude of things you want to accomplish today? If your list of things to do looks like my list, you may be tempted to get back in bed! My thoughts want to turn to the news, email, calendar and to-do list but I turned off the phone and focus on spending this first moments of the day in touch with the God, the Creator of all things, the One who loves me and draws me close to Him.
Today, He reminds me that Hope doesn't disappoint because of His love! A few quiet moments feeling His love pouring into my heart revives me! Doesn't just the thought of HIS love awaken your spirit to being loved and being able to love. And that is so important! As the day progresses we are going to be in contact with many people and face all sorts of circumstances…and in every single instance we bring HOPE into dynamics of the day because of HIS love for us and in us!
Spend some time soaking in HIS LOVE as you read these verses and let the GOD of HOPE encourage you!
[Rom 5:1-5 NKJV] 1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only [that], but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
[Rom 15:13 NKJV] 13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
[Col 1:27 NKJV] 27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
[Heb 10:23 NKJV] 23 Let us hold fast the confession of [our] hope without wavering, for He who promised [is] faithful.
