Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Paul reminds us in this verse that just trusting in God brings joy and peace. I have prayed to God for peace many times over the last couple of weeks. There is a lot going on in our house. We are renovating, and of course, it is wonderful to be able to do this. But it is also very unpleasant while it is going on, and we have had some rough days. Stopping and thanking God for what we have, most importantly for what we have in Jesus, has been so helpful for me. Sometimes I don’t feel like there is room in my chest for joy. But I must allow God to make room. I have prayed to God for peace, and He has answered. He will bring me joy.
Holy Lord, I know that it is through knowing and loving you that I find moments of joy. I am so thankful. Lead me, Lord. Amen
Becky, transforming
