Today Verse: — Romans 15:13 (NIV)
“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.”
Today Devotional
You don’t need to manufacture hope—it’s not something you muster up. It’s something God fills you with as you trust Him.
Trust is the doorway. Joy and peace are the evidence. Hope is the overflow.
This verse doesn’t offer a vague sense of spiritual positivity. It introduces you to the God of hope—not the god of survival, not the god of anxiety, not the god of “maybe.” The One who is hope in Himself. And He doesn’t give a trickle. He fills you until you overflow.
But notice the condition: “as you trust in Him.” Not as you understand everything. Not as your situation gets fixed. Hope is born in surrender. It grows when you stop clenching your fists and open your hands.
Paul doesn’t say you’ll feel peace when life makes sense. He says you’ll be filled with peace as you trust. This is a supernatural transaction—powered not by your strength but by the Holy Spirit Himself.
So stop scanning the horizon for hope to come from somewhere else. It's not coming from the news. It's not coming from your bank account or your performance. It comes from Him. He is the source.
Open your heart. Trust Him again. He will fill it. And when He does, you will overflow.
Prayer for the Day
God of hope, I surrender my fear and confusion. Fill me with Your joy and peace as I trust in You. Let my life overflow with hope by Your Spirit—not by my strength, but by Your power. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
