God's Promises: The Hope You Need is Here! Romans 15:13
Romans 15:13 NIV
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
In our culture, we use the word “hope” to mean a wish – like crossing our fingers for something we want to come true but don’t know if it will or not.
That is not Biblical hope! God is the God of hope!
God wants us to live “overflow(ing) with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” He wants us to live as He lives – supernaturally filled with hope that doesn’t fade or fail. And He makes it possible by “the power of the Holy Spirit” and the Word of God.
1 Peter 1:23
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
God’s Word is God’s seed. When we plant God’s Word in our hearts by faith, it produces the life of God in us.
Numbers 23:19 NLT
God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?
1 Corinthians 1:20
For as many as are the promises of God, in Christ they are [all answered] “Yes.” So through Him we say our “Amen” to the glory of God.
All God’s promises are true.
And all God’s promises are ours, through Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
Psalm 27:13-14 AMP
I would have despaired had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living.
14 Wait for and confidently expect the Lord;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for and confidently expect the Lord.
Like a woman expecting a baby, Biblical hope, is “a confident expectation“ that as we plant God’s word in our hearts, it will grow and it will birth new life in and through us.
Like a baby, the seeds of God’s Word take time to grow and be birthed in us.
Romans 5:5 assures us, “Hope does not put us to shame.”
Hebrews 6:19 NASB
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and reliable.
When life gets rough, our emotions and thoughts can run wild. Hope is the anchor God gives us to keep us anchored to Him during the storms of life.
