"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." -Romans 15:13 (NIV)
This past summer was a dry one and by the end there were concerns about the low levels of the reservoirs that collected water for use in the city. Restrictions on water use were put in place, but now we have seen a wet spring with many rainy days that have helped replenish the reservoirs almost to overflowing. We, too, need to avoid dry spells and rejoice in the overflowing of hope in our souls!
There are times in our lives when we experience difficulty. There are also times when we drift away from God and what He is calling us to do. In these times, we may feel dry, we may not be taking in the living water that God provides. However, we do not have to stay dry and deal the restrictions in our spiritual lives. We can turn to God, call on Him, and trust that He will fill us with love and hope. Through God's power and grace, He can fill us until our souls are overflowing!
Call on God and trust that His living water will fill you with hope until you are overflowing!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for filling me with Your Holy Spirit that brings hope. Help me to continue to trust in You and to turn to You for renewal. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
