Romans 15:13 NASB "Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."I couldn't sleep, the more I tried, the wider awake I was! There's nothing like the excitement and anticipation to a young boy of waiting to go fishing with your dad in the morning! Today's verse speaks of the hope we find in Christ, the joy and peace in believing! I couldn't wait and would go over thoughts of what it was going to be like to get in the boat and fish with my dad. Would we catch the big ones, I hoped so, would we have a calm and peaceful day on the water, I hoped so. So many thoughts would go through my head and then finally it was time to get up and go! In life, there will be things that keep us awake in the night, things we wonder upon, think about over and over but when we give it all to God, He will fill us with the joy and peace in believing that He is in control.  At the end of the fishing day, it didn't matter if we caught fish, I was happy to have spent the time with my dad, that's how it can be when we chose to spend time with God! Believe in Him cause He believes in YOU! peace, tom
