DAILY DEVOTION WITH QUEEN ANGELA DAY 20 HOPE ANCHORED IN HIM
DAY 20: HOPE ANCHORED IN HIMScripture Romans 15:13 (KJV): Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.Affirmation Hope in God fills me with joy and peace, sustaining me through life’s journey.Dive Deep: Hope That Holds When storms rise, anchors matter. Our hope in God is not wishful thinking—it is a Spirit-powered certainty rooted in God’s character and His unbreakable Word. As we trust His promises, the Holy Spirit floods our hearts with joy and peace, even before circumstances change. Hope is the steady pull of God’s future into our present, securing us when feelings shake and facts shout. When we believe, we abound—not barely survive, but overflow—because the God of hope Himself fills us.Word of the Day: Anchor
- Meaning: A fixed point that holds a vessel steady against waves and wind.
- Why we need it: Life’s currents are real—grief, delays, disappointments, uncertainties. Without an anchor, we drift. God’s Word gives us something stronger than the storm to hold us: Himself.
- Dive Deep: Hebrews 6:19 (KJV) calls our hope “an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast,” secured in God’s unchangeable promise and oath. His Word does not fail (Isaiah 55:11; Numbers 23:19). When we tether our hearts to what He has spoken, we stop being tossed and start standing.Hope anchored in Him is important because only God is unchanging, faithful, and able to fulfill what He promises. Anchoring your hope in the Lord turns hope from wishful thinking into settled confidence that steadies you in every season.
