EXCERPTS FROM MY DEVOTION:
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.
Romans 15:13 NLT
Whatever you must decide or achieve today may seem absolutely overwhelming. You may wonder, “How in the world will I get through this?” And yet God‘s still, small voice is assuring you:
- I am your adequacy and strength (2 Corinthians 3:5).
- I will show you the way you should go (Psalm 32:8).
- I will accomplish all that concerns you (Psalm 138:8).
- Trust Me, I will help you (Proverbs 3:5–6).
When we accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we were given the Holy Spirit to dwell inside us. You may wonder why. The Holy Spirit brings us comfort, teaches us, prepares us, enables us, equips us, energizes us, and empowers us for all of the challenges that we must face in our lives. Look for His activity in your life, listen to Him, and obey His promptings. This may take some time to learn and hear His voice. But you can do it, just like a child learns the voice of their parents.
