“Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Romans 15:13 (WEB)
Overflowing with Hope
In Romans 15, Paul is writing to the believers in Rome, expressing his desire for them to be filled with joy and peace in their faith, so they may abound in hope through the Holy Spirit. This comes amidst his teachings on bearing one another's weaknesses and his plans to visit them. The verse highlights the role of the Holy Spirit as the power through which believers can abound in hope, emphasizing a progression from joy and peace in believing to an overflow of hope. Consider today how the presence of peace and joy in your life may lead to an increased sense of hope.
