Peace and Confidence

Topics to Dig Into

Who is He?

What is God like? Who is this man Jesus? How can we understand the Holy Spirit?

The Visible God

God is present and active in our lives, often working through people and ‘coincidences’. Thank and praise Him!

Making it Practical

Following Jesus in today’s world can be challenging. But living according to Jesus’ teaching is incredibly worthwhile. Call it life-changing.

He Knows You

God’s love is unconditional. He knows our hearts and continually invites us into relationship.

Ah-Ha!

Learning about the culture and language of Bible times can reveal new meaning in familiar scriptures. Let’s call them ah-ha moments.

Romans 15:13 (NLT)

I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you
completely with joy and peace because you trust in Him. Then you will overflow with confident hope
through the power of the Holy Spirit.

I love two phrases in this scripture: complete joy and peace & overflow with
confident hope. Don’t you want
that? Wouldn’t it be great to have
complete inner peace – a feeling of being settled, calm, right with God? Joyful too!
Your soul would be so right that you’d overflow with confidence that God
is working out His plan for the world.
Confidence. Joy. Peace.

How?

Read the verse again….. I’ll wait.

God will fill you with joy and peace
and confidence because He is the source and you trust in Him. Trust
in Him. God is good. He loves you dearly, personally. He wants the best for you (which might look
different than you think). Lean in and
trust Him even when you don’t understand, even when it’s hard. God works all things for good in His time.

Spend a few minutes to plant a quick Seed. Or stay longer and plant a whole garden.

Each post is a brief scriptural thought that will grow as you let it take root in your thoughts. If you have time, dig into one area of interest and plant a whole garden.

Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.

Psalm 119:105

Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.

Ephesians 3:17 (NLT)

I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.

John 15:5 (NLT)

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
