Romans 15:13 So I pray that God, who gives you hope, will keep you happy and full of peace as you believe in him. May you overflow with hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Dhe Perëndia i shpresës le t'ju mbushë me çfarëdo gëzimi dhe paqe me anë të besimit, që të keni mbushulli në shpresë, me anë të fuqisë së Frymës së Shenjtë!
With this time of economic craziness, and panic this verse speaks volumes about peace and hope. The more I grow old and experience life and my spiritual relationship with God, I am finding it all ALWAYS comes down to The Word. Do we know it? Heck, do we read it? Don't skim on, Do you read it?
I know I don't enough and the biggest fault I have is not praying before I read it - that the Holy Spirit would enable me to really understand it. Instead, I struggle through - I am sure the Holy Spirit rolls his eyes and wonders why I don't just ask him to help.
Last night Boy actually called me to help him study Arts in Western Civ. I have pleaded with him to let me help him (he is not passing) because I know this stuff. Well he turns up and low and behold..."wow Mom you know this stuff, I wish you taught this class!" That does a Mom's heart good.
How pleased would the Holy Spirit be if I just asked him, he knows this subject and book so well! And how pleased he would be. God would smile.
I know my hope is in my God. How can I have hope in this time of my life and the world as it is today, if I don't know what God says. I encourage all of us to read on...
Ephesians 1:18
2 Chronicles 20:6
Nehemiah 9:5b, 6
and especially: Psalm 37:3, 4, 5, 7

Love this, Carol!
You know God has divine providence, right? Sam asked you to help him so that you would realize that God WANTS YOU to ask Him for help...you just had to know how HE felt for a minute...duh, Carol... ;)
Because, it does a Mother's heart good - it also does Our Father's heart good. I love you. I'm proud to be "you."
