Read: Romans 15:5-13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. —Romans 15:13
Bible In One Year: 1 Chronicles 13-15; John 7:1-27
Grant Murphy of Seattle was the active type, a man who ran at full throttle. Idling and coasting were not in his nature. "One might even call him hyperactive," recalled a dear friend.
Then multiple sclerosis began to slow Grant down. First he needed crutches to get around. Then he was limited to sitting in a chair. Finally he was confined to a bed.
Near the end, he was hardly strong enough to talk. His friend recalls, however, that "he expressed only joy and thankfulness with a constant anticipation of being in the Lord's presence." Not long before he died, Grant whispered Romans 15:13 to a friend. He repeated the words "in believing," then added, "I can't do anything now."
It's when we can't do anything that God does everything. And herein lies a profound paradox of the Christian's experience. Faith is simultaneously an exercise of our will and the impartation of divine strength. And from that marvelous mixture spring joy and peace and an abundance of hope.
Are you in a totally helpless situation? Strength gone? All options exhausted? If you have trusted Jesus as your Savior, God will strengthen you to keep on believing. As you trust Him, He'll give you not only joy and peace, but also hope when all hope is gone. —Dennis De Haan
Happy FRiday to my FRiends at Amy's Place! Today is "Waitstaff Day" so go out to lunch and be nice to your host/hostess and servers AND leave a good tip - unlike rude, cheap liberals!
I'm "working from home" this morning - so no danger of getting busted for FReeping on Duty (for another hour or so anyway...).
Good afternoon!
Mama Bear you did some yummy graphics, and C.G and Bob, y'all three have made me feel welcomed here today! Thank you for the cute poems!
