Abounding Hope

Where do you find your hope? Where do you find your joy? Where do you find your peace?
We all have some level of hope in our lives. We look hopefully for hope. We hope for joy. We hope for peace. We hope for God.
The Apostle Paul wrote a blessing to the church in Rome, saying, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” (Romans 15:13, ESV).
Our God is the God of hope. We can have God’s hope, God’s joy, and God’s peace in believing and in trusting in God. We can have the hope we are looking for, and have it abound, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
May we have an abounding hope in the God of hope as we believe in him and trust in him throughout our lives.
A Collect for Endurance: “Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the Cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
