Day 1 of 30 · 30 Days of Hope

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, brimming with knowledge, and able to instruct one another.

However, I have written you a bold reminder on some points, because of the grace God has given me

CONTEXT

Original word: ἐλπίδος (elpís) · expectation (abstractly or concretely) or confidence

REFLECTION

Hope in Scripture is not wishful thinking; it rests on who God has shown himself to be. Read Romans 15:13 slowly and notice what it says about God before it says anything about you.

PRAYER

Lord, I bring you what feels heavy today. Teach me to hope in you, not in my circumstances. Amen.

QUESTION

What word or phrase in Romans 15:13 stands out to you?

ONE ACTION TODAY

Write Romans 15:13 on a card and keep it with you today.

Reflections are drafts awaiting pastoral review.
