- 3:50Speaker 1: I'm gonna say March, April, May, June, July office. We've
- 3:53Speaker 1: been on this journey for about five months, and God
- 3:56Speaker 1: has truly been blessing. So I thank Him for allow
- 4:00Speaker 1: me this space and allow me this opportunity to be
- 4:02Speaker 1: able to share and to be able to divel a
- 4:06Speaker 1: deeper into His word. So I'm gonna go ahead and
- 4:08Speaker 1: get started on this morning. The go ahead and get
- 4:12Speaker 1: started on this morning. So again our scripture is coming
- 4:19Speaker 1: from Romans fifteen and thirteen. The King James Virgion rees,
- 4:23Speaker 1: now the God of Hope fill you with all joy,
- 4:26Speaker 1: peace and believing that ye may abound and hope through
- 4:29Speaker 1: the power of the Holy Ghost. And out of the
- 4:34Speaker 1: ESV version, it says, may the God of Hope fill
- 4:40Speaker 1: you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him,
- 4:43Speaker 1: so that you may overflow with hope by the power
- 4:46Speaker 1: of the Holy Ghost, by the Holy Spirit. Our affirmation
- 4:51Speaker 1: for today is hope in God fills me with joy
- 4:56Speaker 1: and peace, sustaining me through life journey. Again, the affirmation
- 5:01Speaker 1: is hope and God fills me with joy and peace,
- 5:04Speaker 1: sustaining me through life's journey. To hope that holds me
- 5:11Speaker 1: when storms rise. Anchors matter Our hope in God is
- 5:16Speaker 1: not wish for thinking. It is spirit powered, certainly rooted
- 5:21Speaker 1: in God's character in his unbreakable word. As we trust
- 5:26Speaker 1: his promise, the Holy Spirit flows through our hearts with
- 5:29Speaker 1: joy and peace, even before circumstances change. Hope is the
- 5:35Speaker 1: steady pool of God's future into our presence, securing us
- 5:40Speaker 1: when feeling shake, fact shout, And when we believe, we abound,
- 5:46Speaker 1: not barely survive, but overflow because God, the God of
- 5:50Speaker 1: hope himself feels us. Our word of today is anchor.
- 5:57Speaker 1: And what does anchor mean? It means a fixed point
- 6:01Speaker 1: that holds a vessel steady against waves. And when why
- 6:06Speaker 1: do we need it? Life's currents are real grief, delays, disappointments, uncertainties.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Without an anchor, we drift. God's word is something stronger
- 6:20Speaker 1: than the storm to hold us himself. And Hebrews six
- 6:24Speaker 1: and nineteen and says call our hope an anchor of God,
- 6:30Speaker 1: calls our hope a anchor of soul, but sure insteadfast,
- 6:35Speaker 1: secure in God's unchangeable promise in oath, his word does
- 6:39Speaker 1: not fail Isaiah fifty five, and he left you also
- 6:42Speaker 1: can go over to numbers twenty three and nineteen. When
- 6:46Speaker 1: we feather our hearts to what He has spoken, we
- 6:50Speaker 1: stop being tossed and start standing. Hope anchored in Him
- 6:56Speaker 1: is important because one only God is unchanging, faithful, and
- 7:01Speaker 1: able to fulfill what he promises. Anchoring your hope in
- 7:06Speaker 1: the Lord turns hope from wishful thinking and to settle
- 7:09Speaker 1: confidence that are steady you in every season, that will
- 7:15Speaker 1: steady you in every season. Get that in your head.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Settle confidence that steadies you in every season. It rests
- 7:25Speaker 1: on God's unchanging character and share promises. It stabilizes your
- 7:30Speaker 1: soul and life storms. It produces real joy and peace
- 7:36Speaker 1: by the Holy Spirit as you trust. It transforms suffering
- 7:41Speaker 1: into endurance, character and confident expectations. It guards you from drift, despair,
- 7:51Speaker 1: and deception. It fuels holy living and courageous witness. It
- 7:57Speaker 1: conforts in grief with a living, resurrection, grounded future. It
- 8:03Speaker 1: overflows into love and service with strengthens others. It secures
- 8:09Speaker 1: your ultimate destiny Christ in you the hope of glory.
- 8:19Speaker 1: God himself is the source, the sustainer and the surge
- 8:24Speaker 1: of your hope. In Romans fifteen and thirteen, it says,
- 8:27Speaker 1: God of Hope, feel you that you may abid in
- 8:31Speaker 1: hope Limitations three twenty one and twenty two. I mean
- 8:34Speaker 1: twenty four It says this I recall to my mind.
- 8:38Speaker 1: Therefore our hope great is thy faithfulness. Hope in God
- 8:44Speaker 1: anchors you beyond your circumstance. Hebrews six and nineteen, which
- 8:49Speaker 1: hope we have as an anchor of the soul. And
- 8:54Speaker 1: Second Corinthians four seventeen and eight it says, our light
- 8:57Speaker 1: affliction is working in eternal weight of glory. We fix
- 9:01Speaker 1: our eyes on the unseen. The Holy Spirit produces joy
- 9:08Speaker 1: and peace as you trust in Romans five and five,
- 9:12Speaker 1: and says the love of God is shed abroad in
- 9:16Speaker 1: our heart by the Holy Ghost. And Galatians five and
- 9:20Speaker 1: twenty two it says the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
- 9:25Speaker 1: and peace. How can we apply these things to our life?
- 9:29Speaker 1: How can we operate in the things that He wants
- 9:34Speaker 1: us to operate in to provide hope and to provide peace. Y'all,
- 9:38Speaker 1: we got to pray your anxieties into his hands and
- 9:42Speaker 1: thank him in advance. And Philippians four six and seven
- 9:45Speaker 1: he said, be careful for nothing. The peace of God
- 9:49Speaker 1: shall keep your heart. And First Peter five and seven.
- 9:53Speaker 1: He said, casting all your cares upon him, for he
- 9:57Speaker 1: cares for you. Learn to speak God's word over your storm,
- 10:03Speaker 1: speak it out loud. He's given us that power. He
- 10:05Speaker 1: told us that in Proverbs eighteen and twenty one. I
- 10:09Speaker 1: think I'm not no theologia, and I don't know, but
- 10:11Speaker 1: he told us that in Proverbs we got to be
- 10:14Speaker 1: able to speak to that storm. And pal, I'm sixty
- 10:17Speaker 1: two five and six he said, my soul weights die
- 10:20Speaker 1: only upon God. He he only is my rock and
- 10:26Speaker 1: my salvation. And Joshua will one and eight it says
- 10:30Speaker 1: this book of Law shall not depart out the mouth, y'all.
- 10:36Speaker 1: We gotta share his word. We gotta speak his word
- 10:39Speaker 1: over our life. He's given us that power. You got
- 10:41Speaker 1: to be able to speak life or death. Be someone
- 10:46Speaker 1: else's lifeline of hope today, be able to give somebody
- 10:52Speaker 1: else at hope. And first, that's a lonely in five
- 10:55Speaker 1: and eleven and said, wherefore, comfort yourself together and ed
- 11:00Speaker 1: one another. Now we got to stop this thinking about ourselves.
- 11:04Speaker 1: He's commanded us to think about other people. He tells
- 11:07Speaker 1: us that over any peas, and think not on our
- 11:09Speaker 1: own things. But I also think on others, and Hebrews
- 11:14Speaker 1: ten twenty three and twenty four it said, let us
- 11:16Speaker 1: hold fast and let us consider one another to provoke
- 11:21Speaker 1: unto love, y'all. I'm gonna share this poem with y'all,
- 11:26Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do my recap, and I'm gonna get
- 11:27Speaker 1: on out of here, y'all. And if you didn't get it,
- 11:30Speaker 1: I want you to go back and hear it again.
- 11:32Speaker 1: Replay it, replay it, replayed until you get it deep
- 11:35Speaker 1: down in your soul. So with every one of these devotions,
- 11:39Speaker 1: there's a scripture, there's an affirmation, there's a lesson, there's
- 11:43Speaker 1: a press starter, a takeaway, and then at the end
- 11:46Speaker 1: there's a poem. I am a poet, so I allow
- 11:49Speaker 1: God to use me however he see fit. And this
- 11:52Speaker 1: is one of the ways that He's allowed me to
- 11:54Speaker 1: be able to express through poetry. So and everything that
- 11:57Speaker 1: I do, I like to bring him honor. I like
- 11:59Speaker 1: to share his goodness and the things that He's done.
- 12:03Speaker 1: And I do it through poetry. I do it through books,
- 12:04Speaker 1: I do it through however He leads me. So the
- 12:08Speaker 1: poem for today is as follow anchored strong my hope
- 12:13Speaker 1: in thee joy and peace flow abundantly by your spirit,
- 12:20Speaker 1: hope will be again anchored strong. My hope in thee
- 12:26Speaker 1: joy and peace flow abundantly by your spirit, hope will
- 12:32Speaker 1: be And that's that piece, y'all. I love poetry and
- 12:37Speaker 1: I just love sharing his goodness. I love to share
- 12:40Speaker 1: that that He's placed in me, and he gives me
- 12:42Speaker 1: that opportunity to do it through my writings, through my poetry,
- 12:45Speaker 1: through podcasts, and through going live and just doing just
- 12:49Speaker 1: doing that. Because again I'm not a theologian. I don't
- 12:52Speaker 1: I don't walk into office. I just share from my
- 12:55Speaker 1: experience as a recap. I want to share this, this
- 13:00Speaker 1: story out of the Bible. We understand that Paul's storm
- 13:03Speaker 1: in Act twenty seven, the winds hollowed, the ship broke,
- 13:07Speaker 1: and fear spread it. But God spoke a promise. He
- 13:11Speaker 1: said there should be no loss of any man's life.
- 13:15Speaker 1: Paul declared, I believe God that this shall be even
- 13:20Speaker 1: as it was spoken Acts twenty seven and twenty five.
- 13:23Speaker 1: It says they cast anchors into the sea, but Paul
- 13:27Speaker 1: was anchored in God's word. Every life on board two
- 13:31Speaker 1: hundred and seventy six souls were saying, just as God said,
- 13:37Speaker 1: that was the anchored hope that does and extended in
- 13:43Speaker 1: the storm and brings others safely to shore. Y'all pay
- 13:48Speaker 1: it forward in the kingdom. Take the hope that God
- 13:52Speaker 1: has poured into you and poured into others. Share your
- 13:56Speaker 1: testimony this weekend. Text a scripture to someone who's sinking.
- 14:01Speaker 1: Pray for your coworkers, Speak life over your family, Give generously,
- 14:06Speaker 1: volunteer where pain is present. Let your good works point
- 14:10Speaker 1: to God, To the good God Matthews five and sixteen.
- 14:15Speaker 1: It says, the God who comfort you will comfort others
- 14:19Speaker 1: through you. Get that. I want you to get that.
- 14:22Speaker 1: It said, the God who comforts you will comfort others
- 14:26Speaker 1: through you. Share your testimony. Don't sit down on what
- 14:29Speaker 1: God has done for you. He allowed you to get
- 14:31Speaker 1: through it so that you can share it with somebody else.
- 14:34Speaker 1: He didn't just allow you to get through just so
- 14:36Speaker 1: you can just you can be glorified. He allowed you
- 14:40Speaker 1: to get through so that you can share it with
- 14:42Speaker 1: somebody else, so that it points back to Him, the
- 14:46Speaker 1: God who comforts. Again, I repeat this, the God who
- 14:50Speaker 1: comforts you will comfort others through you. Be a living
- 14:55Speaker 1: lighthouse as God is glorified. And everything we do again
- 15:01Speaker 1: allow his light to shine so bright to you that
- 15:05Speaker 1: somebody that may not know him today will come to
- 15:07Speaker 1: know him on today, y'all. Tomorrow, Day number twenty one

- 15:28Speaker 1: twenty one day journey of diving deep into God's word,
