Romans 15: 13
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 Spirit.
The Holy Spirit of GOD brings joy
Today, we remember 9/11, the day when our country came under attack. There has been a lot of talk recently about this time in our life, "when the walls came tumbling down", lives were lost and our friends and neighbors died a horrible death. Does this damage to the physical world, damage our Spiritual life? Do unspeakable hurt and harm cause us to loose our "unspeakable joy"? The answer to these two questions is a resounding NO.
Where then do we find this joy that does not depend on circumstances? When our world changes right before our eyes and we are left bewildered, "the GOD of Hope will fill us with all joy and peace in believing". We will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are transformed within by the Blood of JESUS, as we believe in Him.
When we abound in hope, peace, joy and the power of the Holy Spirit, we can do the extraordinary things. Isaiah 58: 11 and 12 tell us what we will be able to do when the LORD guides us:
The LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places; thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations, and thou shalt be called, THE REPAIRER OF THE BREACH, THE RESTORER OF PATHS TO DWELL IN.
My dear friends, JESUS is our joy and through Him we give life to those who are dying and light to those who sit in darkness. We are watered gardens and springs of living water. Be a repairer of the breach and a restorer of paths to dwell in. Let the unspeakable joy from the LORD be your strength and motivate you to build the old waste places for his Holy Name Sake. Then, when we remember 9/11, we will remember the One who was with everyone, every place; bringing His comfort, Love, mercy, grace in the time of need. Everyone was kissed by the Love of GOD, not just that day, but every day.
FOR JESUS IS LORD OF ALL.
