“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”  Romans 15:13

 

In many of our lessons this week, children saw examples of God’s power. . . God’s power to slay a giant, God’s power over the natural and supernatural world, and God’s power to conquer sin.  That same power is available to fill us with joy and peace, no matter what our day may hold.  We can trust in God, we can hope in god, and we can rely on Him to be faithful.
