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, New International Version)
On New Years Eve, I introduced you to my word of the year. I know it may seem hokey, but I’ve been choosing a word of the year for over ten years now, or sometimes the word chooses me. I find an appropriate Bible verse with that word and I put it on computer screen so I see it every time I sit down at my laptop. I try to keep it in my head and my heart all year. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t.
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction,
faithful in prayer. (Romans 12:12, NIV)
I usually find lots of other inspirational verses with that same word, so here are some of them.
We were given this hope when we were
saved. If we already have something, we don’t need to hope for it. But if we
look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and
confidently. (Romans 8:24-25, New Living Translation)
The picture above is from our Airbnb when we stayed at Diani Beach in Kenya three years ago. If you like the picture here, great. Share it if it calls to you. Or you can use one of the other verses about hope. Just something to think about.
