Wednesday’s Musings: The Blessings of Hope


Romans 15:13 I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Yesterday morning’s newscasts were full of the story of the amazing rescue of three women in Cleveland who had been held captive for ten years.  One relative said that he never gave up hope.  Sometimes, that’s all we have to hold on to.  Hope defeats despair. Not every story ends well yet until we arrive at the end, let us hold onto the hope that God is in the process hearing our prayers for help.

We praise you Lord for the rescue of these women.  We pray that they will be able to overcome the emotional scars of the long ordeal they have endured.  Help us to hold onto hope when we face challenges. Thanks for all the blessings in our lives. Amen.
Blessings,
Paige
