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.

Romans 15:13

Encouragement

The Lord, your God, is the God of hope (Rm. 15:13). It is only in Him that you can find hope through the storms and confusion in this turbulent world. So, stay in Christ and stay connected to the God of hope, by the power of the Holy Spirit.

It is God alone who can fill your heart with joy. He can give you strength for each day in Christ. He gives you peace through the confusion and stresses of this coronavirus invasion. He knows the confused and anxious condition of your heart and mind. So, He will post His guards to enforce a tranquil environment for you in Christ. So, tune your heart to Him and receive encouragement for each moment. Rejoice in Him and thank Him.

God is trustworthy to the core. He is faithful even when you are faithless because He cannot deny who He is (2 Tim. 2:13). He is unchanging and reliable. Every promise He has spoken is an anchor for those who believe. So, know His word. Hold on to His promises. Rejoice in Christ and be thankful.

Expect an overflow of hope and joy in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Direct the overflow of your joy to those who need encouragement. Share His warmth with others. Light the world around you with the light He has lighted in you. Don’t let your salt idle on the dining table. Shake it on your environment and bring flavor to it, preserving it for posterity.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ rest upon you and your household, amen.
