Reflection for Today's Verse
Because of everything that God is to us, everything that He has done for us, everything that He is continuing to do for us as we travel through life, and everything that He has promised to do for us in the days to come, we have the overflowing and unfathomable peace of God within us, as well as the glorious hope that is ours in Christ.
Oh, what an incredible blessing it is to put our faith in God and to be able to depend on him. May we be inspired to broaden our understanding of the wonderful God of Hope we serve, and may we center our expectations on the One who, through Christ Jesus, our Lord, has already showered us with every spiritual benefit available in the heavenly places. We pray that we will continue to put our faith in His unchangeable Word and conduct ourselves in a way that brings glory to His holy name.
My Prayer
Dear Loving Father, as I become more aware of the breadth of love that you have for me, my heart leaps for joy. You truly are my magnificent God of Hope, and I thank You that this hope is not the questionable “hope” of the world, but rather a certain hope that is firmly established on Your unchanging Word. Permit me to communicate this truth with all that I come in contact with today, so that they may give honor and glory to You. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
