Daily Wisdom..."God of Hope"

“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.”  Rom 15:13

Hope is the light of the Holy Spirit that shines upon a darkened moment and allows you to see God’s outreached hands; giving you comfort in knowing that if God can take a broken body and bring forth blessings and with an ominous cross offer eternal glory, then He can take your hurt and pain and fill it with all joy and peace.  There is no amount of carnage or destruction in one’s life that God cannot sift through the heap and wreckage and build something worthy in His time.  One’s needs become hope we they discover the reason for such an expectation, and there is no greater expectation one can have than the promise of the “God of hope” for an expected end (Jere 29:11).  The hope of God that sustains us allows the joy of one’s soul to shout with tear filled eyes and…”hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.” Heb 3:6b

Hope promises us that while light descends into darkness around us, the prayers and stillness of the night bring forth light of a new day and hope of tomorrow to whose eyes are set on God.
