JOY AND PEACE OF JESUS

” I PRAY THAT GOD THE SOURCE OF HOPE, WILL FILL YOU COMPLETELY WITH JOY AND PEACE, BECAUSE YOU TRUST IN HIM. THEN YOU WILL OVERFLOW WITH CONFIDENT HOPE THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.” ROMANS 15:13

Let’s all take just a moment and reflect upon our lives in the world today. The world is in utter chaos. There are things happening that we cannot explain. Gas prices are going through the roof. Prices of everything we want and need are inflated. America is no longer looked upon as a strength on the world’s stage. There are shootings and killings going on all around us everyday. I could go on and on. Where is our hope today? Are we hoping that our elected leaders will suddenly come to their senses and make wiser decisions? Are we hoping that our Whitehouse will suddenly become a strength again and begin to make decisions that will help our land to get back on track? If this is where our hope is then we have a long and dreadful wait. Romans 15:13 tells us that our source of hope is in our God in heaven. Our Lord is our only way out. When we begin to put our complete hope in him and faithfully trust him then our hearts and minds will begin to be filled with joy and peace. As we trust our Lord our confidence will begin to grow each day. The power of the Holy Spirit will move in us and show us the way, give us the strength and the wisdom we need to live the lives he has planned for us. We need to put God first in our lives and not the things of the world. The world will fail us but our Lord God in heaven never fails. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
