“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.” Romans 15:13(NIV)
Hope. What a perfect gift for the year ahead! Romans 15:13 identifies God as “the God of hope”. He delights to fill those who trust in Him with all joy and peace and hope.
As the new year begins, there are many unknowns, both in our own lives and in our world. God doesn’t promise us a problem-free life. He does promise to walk with us. He promises to take care of us and to “work all things together for good for those who love God.” Romans 8:28. As we put our trust in Him, He gives us joy, peace, and hope in all circumstances.
Every year I choose a word of the year and a Bible verse of the year. I type out the verse and place it on my bathroom mirror. I read it every day. For 2024, my word is Hope and my verse is Romans 15:13.
Let me invite each of you, my readers, to choose a word and a Bible verse for 2024. If you do, I would love to hear from you. Let me know what word and what verse you choose for the year ahead.
May God fill us with all hope, joy and peace as we step into 2024. Happy New Year!
As I read this New Year’s Eve, I feel so hopeful and blessed!!!
