eVotional: Romans 15:3-4

Hope from the Scriptures

“For Christ did not please himself; but, as it is written, “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.” For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, so that by steadfastness and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.”

Romans 15:3-4

Hope comes from Scriptures!  Could this be why we don’t have peace and comfort at times; the ability to acknowledge that God is in full control? When we don’t allow the Holy Spirit to give us the right understanding, we worry. 

How much effort are we putting into our business, our job, our professionalism?  Should we not put more into seeking God’s guidance?  It is the rulers and powers of this age that are attempting to wear us out so that we’re too tired for the things that are most important.

We have access to a wealth of hope, comfort, and power in the Holy scriptures!  We are not shorthanded to deal with the troubles of each day.  We are very much prosperous in God’s educational material!  What ever we do, let us plant our dreams in a way that is built upon God’s kingdom! A Sure foundation.
