Good morning, friends! Today our reading in Romans is Romans 15:1-13. This is what grabbed me:
Scripture: 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.
Observation:
Wanna overflow with the power of the spirit? Then TRUST in him and that joy and peace will come.
Application:
Hmmm. Sometimes I feel that peace and that joy and sometimes I am just so jumbled and conflicted. I want that peace and joy so much more often, though. And I am pretty sure He is telling me here that I need to TRUST more often. I admit it, I lean on my own understanding way too much. Which is wrong. My understanding is flawed. His is not.
I need to trust in him, and allow him to fill me with joy and peace so I can overflow with hope from His power.
Prayer:
Okay, Lord, I get it. And I am so sorry. Please forgive me all those times I lean on me rather than trust in you. Thank you for this sweet reminder.
You’ve got me better than I can, I just need to let go and listen and follow and trust…. in all things. Thank you, Lord. I know you’ll never let me down. You’ve shown me time and time again.
I’m yours. I will try to trust more and allow you to fill me up. Thank you.
