Hey y'all! I got the privilege to be asked to participate in this blog tour and I couldn't pass it up. The point of this tour is to spread hope, and it is my goal for this post to be of hope for you today. Also, thanks to SawyerMarie and Abby for setting this up!
Bible Verse:
Romans 15:13
“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.” NKJV
Quote (from Pinterest):
"Hope is putting faith to work when doubting would be easier."
I chose this quote because I felt like it helped understand how having "hope" is not always easy. Doubting is easy, it might even be our first reaction to hardship. But, being hopeful (to me) means not settling for believing in the doubt or fear. It means to rise above the human reaction to be negative, and to be positive instead. To put our hope in the Lord is to have faith.
Song:
You Will Make a Way by Mallary Hope
Not only does this artist's last name imply "Hope" but the song itself is hopeful. Because it's not titled "Maybe God will Make a Way." It is direct, without question that He will make a way for us. God has done so many things for us, and we know that He is capable. He is more than enough for us to put our Hope in Him.
My Two Cents:
Hope in Jesus is a choice. Without hope, life would look pretty bleak. Doubt would creep in, and sadness would overcome us. But by placing hope in our Savior's capable hands, we can rest assured that He is fighting for us, making a way for us in this crazy world. In the end, I think that having hope in Jesus is worth the struggle of surrendering to self. Because, if God is for us, then who can be against us?
Make sure to stop at all the other blog tour stops on each of these days!

ReplyDeleteThat verse is my sister's favorite. And I LOVE that quote! ❤ (Never read it before, though.)
Isaiah 40:28-31 and Jeremiah 29:11-13 are some of my favorite hopeful verses, but the Bible is FULL of hope. In a way, every verse in the Bible speaks hope.
Even There by Forever Be Sure is a very hopeful song. It's a recent favorite of mine. :D
Again, thanks for sharing this. It was such a joy to read! ❤❤
Aw, I’m so glad you found this post to be encouraging!
DeleteSuch a good verse! And I had never seen that quote before either... very wise words.
Those are great verses in the Bible! I especially like Jeremiah 29:11!! <3
