Morning by Morning, March 5, 2025 - God of Hope

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Your name is above every name; and I lift up Your name over every moment of my day (Philippians 2:9). ...

 

As I wait for the leading of Your Spirit, what I hear in my heart is “God of Hope.”

 

Just the word “Hope” lifts my spirit, lifts my eyes up to You. And two Scriptures come to mind immediately:

 

“I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
 From whence comes my help?

My help comes from the Lord,
 Who made heaven and earth”

(Psalm 121:1-2).

 

The same place “from whence comes my help” is the same place “from whence comes my (hope).”  My help and my hope come from You—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God. You are my Help; You are my Hope. And embracing Your help and Your hope, lift up my spirit as I lift up my eyes to You.

 

And the other Scripture You’re bringing to mind fills me with just as much hope and joy to start my day embracing Your Presence and Your Promises:

 

“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” (Romans 15:13).

 

“In believing” You, “in believing” You’re with me, You’re for me, You’ll never leave me nor forsake me, You’ve already gone before me into every moment I’ll experience, every challenge I’ll face. You’re filling me “with all joy and peace.” You’re filling me with “the power of the Holy Spirit.” You’re preparing the way before me today to “abound in hope!” 

 

So I do lift up my eyes to You; I open up my heart to You. I get ready now to arise and go out into my day with You--O God of Hope! Ready to “abound in hope” with You today! In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
