Day 6 of 30 · 30 Days of Hope

And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.

For at just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.

Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.

CONTEXT

Original word: ἐλπὶς (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 5:5 slowly and notice what it says about God before it says anything about you.

PRAYER

Holy Spirit, fill me with hope today, and let it overflow to the people around me. Amen.
