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)
This past
Sunday, we were blessed to have as our guest speaker Pastor Bobby Wilmot.
Pastor Bobby was called by God to plant seeds of righteousness and holiness in
a community in Jamaica that held a history of lawlessness. Pastor Bobby’s
faithfulness in ministry, and particularly his ability to see transformation
and change by faith, are an inspiration to those of us who are living in our
own regions of crisis, whether geographical or spiritual.
Pastor
Bobby based his sermon on Romans 15:13. The middle of this verse contains an
important thought: “…as you trust in Him.”
- Do we understand that the infilling of joy and peace
walks in tandem with our sure faith? Do we really trust God?
- Do we approach our belief in God not as a one-time assertion of His Lordship, but as a continual confession of our belief in His power to act on behalf of His children?
Today, as
we pray and work, let us affirm and re-affirm our trust in God.
Lord God, we love You, and we trust You. Thank
You for pouring joy and peace into our hearts.
