For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope and overflow with confidence in His promises. (Romans 15:4) Whatever was written in former days was meant for this very present time for our instruction, in order to give hope. We are provided with God's word to help guide us through this life. Being rooted in His word, we have hope in the midst of trials, and the circumstances of life can become bearable because this hope will enable us to get through it.

By the power of Holy Spirit in us, we abound in hope no matter what arises in our life. True Hope, Joy & Peace can Only be Found in God.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you will abound in hope and overflow with confidence in His promises. Personally I am convinced about you, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness, amply filled with all [spiritual] knowledge, and competent to admonish and counsel and instruct one another. (Romans 15:13-14) Our confidence that God works for the good of those who love him; Walking through trials right now, that God would refine us and purify us in them. Or when we walk through trials in the days to come.

But He knows the way that I take [and He pays attention to it]. When He has tried me, I will come forth as [refined] gold [pure and luminous]. (Job 23:10) Trusting in God's word, and knowing the character of the God of the word. Devotion to God can sustain us through all of life's circumstances. The Lord sat as King at the flood;

Yes, the LORD sits as King forever.

The LORD will give [unyielding and impenetrable] strength to His people;

The LORD will bless His people with peace. (Psalm 29:10-11)

Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.] (John 14:27)

I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] (John 16:33)

And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” Then He said to me, “They are done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost. He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I WILL BE HIS GOD AND HE WILL BE MY SON. (Revelation 21:5-7)

“Glory to God in the highest [heaven], And on earth peace among men with whom He is well-pleased.” (Luke 2:14)
