Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
We say that the Bible is true.
And that God loves us.
And that we love God.
We tell others that God is in control.
And then we live life without joy.
We loose hope in our hard situations.
And we let chaos reign in our hearts and minds when we can’t make sense of a situation.
So, are we teaching our children, and others around us, that we truly believe what we say? If the Bible is true we should have all the joy, peace, and hope that we could ever need. With enough spilling over to effect those we are around.

| I pray that my daughters see in my life that serving a family is a HUGE blessing and not a burden!! But I must live with joy if that is going to happen! |
So, today my dear sister, do you have it? Do you have peace? What about hope in knowing that God is in control and His plans are perfect? And oh the joy? Are you smiling, singing to yourself, and serving your family with gladness? If we have our trust in God we must truly believe that this is possible and live like it!!
What are some ways that you fill your life with joy, peace, and hope? When you are having trouble believing what encourages you in your walk with the Lord?
When I’m needing some joy or encouragement I turn on praise music and get up and move. Listening to music helps me to go about my household duties with the right heart and attitude.
I also like to read Proverbs 31:10-31. It motivates me like nothing else.
Maybe that should be my verse to memorize. That way it’s in my heart always.
