Romans 15:13 - God of Hope.

Romans 15:13: God of Hope.

Romans 15:13 (NKJV) 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.  

   Hope. It's about looking forward, seeing beyond the here and 
now, and anticipating the future. Hope pulls the joys of the future 
into the present because it believes there's more to come, and it 
doesn't wait to celebrate. 
   God is all about hope. He is full of hopes and dreams for us. 
We can see it right there in the first chapter of his Word. He 
created an ideal environment to sustain us because he intended a future 
for us. Since he made us in his image, he created us to reflect his 
hope-filled character. 
   Even before God created us and placed his image in us, he 
knew we were headed for disaster. We're sinners, and sin is an enemy 
of hope. However, God also knew himself. He is hope, which means he 
reigns over every trouble that threatens us as well as every sin we 
commit. He is our ever-present reason to celebrate. 
   Consider these truths as you approach your day.
   Will your attitudes, words, and actions reveal a confidence 
that God will continue to be God? Not just in the Garden of Eden, not 
just in Sally Somebody's life - but in your life. And not just today, 
but tomorrow, next month, and years from now. 
   Circumstances are never the real killers of hope. The death 
of hope lies in forgetting to focus on the One whose image you 
bear. 
   You can celebrate today, no matter what your current 
circumstances look like. Life often hurts - and you may not experience the 
answers or provisions right now - but God promises you a hope-filled 
future in him. [The Daily God Book By Erin Keeley Marshall]
