Peace and Hope

Many of us feel broken and of no use to God. That is where the enemy likes to get in to our heads, and we do not serve the way we should. There will be trials and crisis in our lives, but with God's hope and peace we can overcome. Look what Paul says in Romans 5:1-5:

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.  Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.  And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.  

Over the next couple of days we'll go through this passage. Today underline the key phrases and start praying what God wants to reveal to you.

Be wise today and always - allow God to heal and use you for His kingdom's work.
