The answer is in his Word

Search the Scriptures

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in faith, that you may abound in hope, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15.13

A few years ago, I went through a particularly difficult time when I had absolutely no joy and no peace in my life. Every time I made a mistake, I was the first to condemn myself, upset that I couldn't be a "perfect Christian".

Then one day, I read Romans 15.13 : "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in faith..." I finally understood ! I realized that I had sunk into doubt and disbelief, allowing the devil to torment me with negativity, anger, and impatience.

In the midst of it all, I had forgotten that believing in God and trusting His Word brought peace, hope, and overcame my weaknesses. The Word of God gave me the answer. Jesus loved me so much that he not only forgave my past sins, but also looked to the future, forgiving in advance all the moments of weakness and failure in my future.

I don't have to let Satan creep into my life with doubts and unbelief, and neither do you. Know today that peace, hope and joy are before you. Immerse yourself in His Word and let the Lord stretch your faith.
