“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.” – Romans 15:
13
AS we all know, these are testing
times. Our attitudes, our commitments, and the values by which we live are
challenged. Extra-ordinary events and waves of conflicting opinions fill our
day, causing doubt and confusion. This is when we need a godly perspective. A
friend said in a phone chat today, “I believe in God the Father, God the Son
and God the Holy Ghost, so I carry on confidently, come what may.” I was filled
with admiration - God in His grace sent Jesus to us; He died so
that we can live, and He sent the Holy Spirit to help us understand life and fill
us with hope, peace, and the knowledge of salvation. What my friend said
reminded me of the scripture above and the wonderful way the Spirit can “renew
your thoughts and attitudes.” (See Ephesians 4: 24)
