Romans 8
Day 11 of 30 · 30 Days of Hope
For we were saved in hope, but hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for that which he sees?
But if we hope for that which we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.
In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.
CONTEXT
Original word: ἐλπίδι (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 8:24 slowly and notice what it says about God before it says anything about you.
PRAYER
Faithful God, thank you for your promises. Help me to hold on to them when I cannot see the way. Amen.
