The Power of Hope: 7 Days to Hoping in the LordNäide

Love, Hope, Joy, and Peace | Paul

A Christian’s life is to be characterized by love, hope, joy, and peace. That happens as we walk closely with Jesus, as the Holy Spirit makes us more like Jesus, and as we receive the hope, joy, and peace God offers. 

First, blessing us with His sovereign and unconditional love, we find in God hope, joy, and peace whatever the circumstances, heartache, and worries of life. The promise of eternity with Him also fuels hope, joy, and peace. 

Whether Paul was serving or suffering for Christ (2 Corinthians 11:23–27)— and he did both— he knew hope, joy, and peace. We can too, because God, our heavenly Father, is all-good, all-wise, and all-powerful. May we  therefore make time to be with Him each day so He may “fill [us] with all joy and peace in believing, that [we] may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” 

And all God’s people said, “Amen!”
