Day 10: Finding Joy in Hope

Hope is a powerful force that can illuminate even the darkest paths. When our lives are grounded in the Hope that comes from God, Joy becomes an innate part of our journey.

In Romans 15:13, Paul links Joy, peace, and hope. He paints a picture of believers not just having hope but overflowing with it. This overflow isn’t a result of wishful thinking or naive optimism. It’s rooted in the trust we have in God, knowing that He is Faithful, and His Promises are true.

When challenges arise, it’s this hope that reminds us of the bigger picture and gives us the strength to push forward. This Resilient Hope, grounded in faith, produces a Joy that is unwavering and genuine.
