Romans 15:13 (NKJV) 13 Now 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.
Oh, how precious is our God… Hallelujah!!
How do we get through each day? By having His joy. By walking in His Peace and abounding in His hope.
How do we do that? By the power of the Holy Spirit.
We can’t fabricate or conjure up His joy. It’s God-given, Spirit-led; not fleshly hype.
Did our Sunday service get us hyped up and excited?
Hype does not keep the flame burning. Hype dies when the source of that hype goes away.
Monday morning is when we need joy, peace and hope at its best.
But if we’re relying on that same hype to get us through a tough day or a trying week, we’re going to be in sad shape by Friday afternoon.
Does this happen to us? Come Monday we don’t feel the same?
By Wednesday we’re feeling miserable? By the time Friday rolls around, we’re drained and ready to crash and burn?
Maybe it’s time to leave the hype behind and let God teach us how to walk with Him each and every day in a way that’s meaningful, not based on hype or emotion.
God wants us to get off the rollercoaster of emotion and hype, and let Him teach us what it means to walk in the Spirit.
It’s in the Spirit that we find stability. It’s in the Spirit that we walk in His joy, peace and hope.
It’s in the Spirit that we find liberty, and freedom from the fickleness of our emotions.
And it’s in the Spirit where we find the peace of God that will see us through those times when emotions leave us high and dry.
Colossians 3:15 (NKJV) 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
