Day 26: Overflowing with Hope

Devotion:
When you trust God, something amazing happens: He fills you with a hope that isn’t dependent on your circumstances. It’s not just a fleeting feeling or wishful thinking—it’s a confident expectation that God is working, even when things are hard. This kind of hope isn’t meant to stay bottled up. It overflows, spilling into your relationships, your conversations, and your everyday life, bringing encouragement to those around you.

Hope is contagious. When others see the way you trust God in the midst of challenges, it inspires them to do the same. It shows them that God is real, faithful, and active, even in the messiest parts of life. Your hope becomes a light, pointing others to His goodness and reminding them that He’s at work in their story too.

Today, ask God to fill you with His hope. Let it shine through your words, your actions, and your attitude, even in the hard times. Whether it’s through a smile, an encouraging word, or a moment of grace, let your hope be a reminder to those around you that God is still in control and still good.

Prayer:
Lord, fill me with Your hope, joy, and peace. Let my life be a light that points others to You. Amen.
