Daily God Walk - Promises Vol 1

What the Bible Says About Hope

Hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit whom he has given us.
–  Romans 5:5
 
Hope does not disappoint us. Oh, but you say I have hoped for many things and have been disappointed when I didn’t get them. That is not the hope which is mentioned here.
The hope which disappoints is like hoping for that special gift at Christmas. It is hoping that another person will give us attention. It is hoping that we’ll finally win the lottery. Hope based upon assumption and unrealistic expectations will nearly always disappoint us.
Paul is speaking about the hope which comes through having placed our faith in Christ. The reason this hope does not disappoint us is that it didn’t come from our own wishful thinking. This hope comes from the eternally faithful word of God.
This hope rises up from faith based upon our relationship with the God of hope. It is hope that will not disappoint or make us ashamed.
In Romans 5 Paul writes in verse two, “we have access by faith… and rejoice in the hope.” Then he relates that as we experience trials in our relationship with the Lord we gain patience; patient serving produces experience; and our experience of his grace produces Hope – and this hope will not disappoint or make us ashamed.
Hope born in the Spirit of redemption becomes an anchor for our soul (Hebrews 6:19). When our hope is fixed on nothing less than Jesus Christ and his promises we can rest assured that he will fulfill his promises every time.
 
Prayer: Lord Jesus, sometimes my focus gets off of what you have done and what you have made available to us through faith. Grant me the grace of great faith and hope in you for the future. In your name I ask. Amen.
 

Deepen Your Walk


Do you want to get more out of your devotion time?

Here is a tool to help you do just that. In the study guide edition of the Daily God Walk every devotion has a second page designed to help grow deeper in your faith and become stronger on your journey. 

The "Message" section is a summary of the main idea of the devotion:

Message:  Hope born in the Spirit of redemption becomes an anchor for our soul (Hebrews 6:19). When our hope is fixed on nothing less than Jesus Christ and his promises we can rest assured that he will fulfill his promises every time.
 
 The "Affirmation" section is designed to be used as a meditation thought and can even be used in prayer:

Affirmation:  My faith in Christ is a hope which anchors my soul and does not disappoint me.
 
 The "Reflection" section usually contains comments or questions that are good to give some serious thought to:

Reflection:  How does the hope we have in Christ compare to the hope we have in the things of this world? Can you explain the difference between the hope of faith and the hope of wishful thinking?

The "My Notes" section is where you write your thoughts and ideas about the devotion. Also it is a good place to journal your walk of faith:

Daily God Walk - Promises

Do Not Let Your Heart be Troubled

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. – John 14:27

​Message:   The world’s peace depends upon how others respond and if they are in the right mood today. God’s peace doesn’t have anything to do with the way others act toward us. It is God’s gift regardless of what the world around us is doing.
 
 Affirmation:   I live in and practice the peace Jesus gives. The peace of this world is but a fleeting hope but His peace is lasting.
  
Reflection:  Give some thought to the things you used to do to have inner peace. Could any of those things bring true, lasting, inner peace? Think of some ways the peace Jesus gives is different from the peace the world gives.
