Romans 15:13
Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
Paul identifies God as the source of hope and joy, not merely someone who gives them occasionally.
The God of hope fills us—completely, not partially—with all joy and peace as we trust Him. This filling comes through the Holy Spirit's power, producing hope that overflows into every area of life. Our trust activates God's filling; our anxiety blocks it. The more we believe, the more we experience this supernatural joy and peace.
Apply This Today
Today, consciously place your trust in God and ask the Holy Spirit to fill you with joy, peace, and overflowing hope.
Prayer
God of hope, fill us with all joy and peace as we trust in You. By the power of Your Spirit, may hope overflow in our lives. Amen.
