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. - Romans 15:13 (AMP)
Part 13 of 13
Expecting Something Good
Scripture
God has given His children so many things to be thankful for and one of the most powerful is hope. As a child of God, you can have hope in unlimited measure, and that's something to be thankful for!
Hope is the happy anticipation that something good is going to happen in your life. What are you expecting? Have you even thought about it? If you're expecting nothing, or if you are expecting just a little bit, you are going to get what you expect. I always say, "I'd rather believe for a whole lot and get half of it than believe for a little bit and get all of it."
God wants you to trust Him and have a happy expectation for something good. If you're in a tough situation today, expect it to change. If you're in a good situation today, expect it to get even better. God is a God of hope.

“God wants us to be full of hope, trusting that He can change what needs to be changed, that we can do what He wants us to do, and that all things are possible with Him.”
— Joyce Meyer
Study Suggestion
