Hope by David Patterson

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. ~Romans 15:13

   Below are 12 ways you can claim the living hope in Christ Jesus.

1. Count your blessings - “Hopes fulfilled.”

2. In faith call upon God in prayer.

3. Sing a hymn of hope.

4. Spend time in worship with our God who gives far more than we can ever hope.

5. Give another person hope by telling someone how God has blessed you.

6. In confident trust give back to God a portion of the blessings that the Lord has first given you.

7. Become a shining beacon of “hope” by serving and helping the less fortunate.

8. Make real your desire to live in ways that are pleasing to God.

9. Pressing ever forward, utilize the time, talents and treasures that God has given you.

10. With all of creation that eagerly awaits the coming of Christ, give thanks for the wonder of nature.
