In your weakness, the power of God's life unfolds

. Romans 15 is today's chapter Humanly speaking, we may not have the strength we could wish for. But in God's power we can endure. Jesus has promised. As our days are, our strength must be in Jesus. It is not in ourselves that we find the strength. Only by reading the scriptures and believing in them. If we cannot read, we can listen. How could we take our own thoughts captive if we do not have other thoughts to put in their place? Look at Paul, and other Christians who have endured. Despite their persecution, they chose to remain in endurance. They chose to endure in faith. We must also endure in faith, and not give up so early. It is a living hope that we are called by God to, to stay in, and to live in. We quickly lose heart if we do not have positive thoughts. We do not get positive thoughts anywhere else than through the living Word of God. If you are dying with discouragement, it is the way to fill your head with the Word. The righteous must live by faith. Not by/on feelings. On/in feelings that deceive us, lie to us. Deception. We cannot control the situation. We can do everything in Jesus Christ, who gives us strength. Be happy in hope. In Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, we can rejoice in, an eternal hope. It is so great that it is impossible to describe. You have to experience it yourself before you can experience it. We do not hope for a dead god, or something we have been told, like old legends. No. We have a hope of a Living God. Something that lasts forever. Namely Jesus Christ. Alpha and Omega. The beginning of all life. The end of all life. If we then endure in faith. we shall be with Jesus for all eternity. Therefore. Be happy in hope. Let us rejoice in Jesus the living hope. We have a Son of God, we can Put all our hope and trust in. The hope of all hopes. In ourselves we are hopeless. But if we believe, and if we live in hope, we have only reason to rejoice and be glad, in the God of our salvation. Be rich in hope. Is it really possible to be rich in hope? Yes. If our hope is in Jesus Christ and we live our life in Him and according to God's ordinances. Then we have a share in the living hope. All Mine is yours says Jesus. We have the right to every day in every situation to scoop water with joy. Scoop of the hope of joy, Jesus Christ. These are not small things, but everything Can we get if we pray in faith and firm trust, for? To Jesus Christ the words of the living Son of God. Whatever the world that we are in can offer us, of fleeting hopes that we hope for, is worth nothing in comparison to the inexhaustible treasure we have in Jesus Christ. The world can look very flimsy with all its glitter and wisdom. But. The world and its false happiness glitter Must pass away. Nothing of the perishable shall remain. There is only one thing that does not pass away. It is our choice. It is the choice of what we put our hopes in, we will be held accountable for. Have we chosen to put all our hope in Jesus Christ. Jesus is the only living hope. The Lord is our strength and our praise. He has become our salvation. By trusting in faith (Hebrews.11) we have life. Life in abundance. The Word of God does not pass away. It is eternal. Let us, however, be steadfast in hope and not cast our hope on this World. But put all our hope in Jesus. Jesus is our hope. The Way Truth and eternal life. The living God of hope fills your hearts with. All joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope, by the power of the Holy Spirit Romans 15:13. Land o Land, the people of God. Hear the Word of the Lord God today. Let yourself be transformed so that you and your life become one with Jesus who is in the Word of God. amen
