Advent Devotional – Week 1, Day 3 Hope in the Promise
Romans 15:13
Reflection
Paul reminds us that hope isn’t something we manufacture; it’s something God fills us with. When our trust is in Christ, His Spirit overflows in us with life and peace.
Hope is not wishful thinking — it’s confident expectation rooted in God’s character. Even when life is uncertain, God’s promises remain unshaken.
Let your hope this Advent come not from what you see, but from the One who sees you.

Prayer
God of hope, fill me again with Your peace and joy.
Help me trust You when I can’t see the outcome.
Let Your Spirit overflow in me.
Amen.
