Decide right now (set your mind and
keep it set) that this is going to be a great week!
Even if things don't always go the
way we would want, we already have the promise that God will work everything
out for good. (Romans
8:28) So give thanks to God in all things (rejoice and pray continually) and
be constant and steadfast in hope - in the expectation that good things are
going to happen! God has already told us that He has good plans for us (Jeremiah
29:11), and that even when bad things happen (as they will) we are to take
heart...He has already overcome the world! (John
16:33) The world and our circumstances only have the power over us that we
give to them. The truth is that in Him we are more than conquerors...we
already have the victory in whatever comes our way! (Romans
8:37)
"May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and
peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of
the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with
hope." Romans 15:13
