“I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him.  Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13 NIV

In our lessons today, we learn about the power of God. . . the power He has to change someone from an enemy into a friend and the power to heal a lame man and allow him to walk.  The most amazing change can happen when we accept Jesus as our savior and allow the Holy Spirit our guide and direct our choices, decisions, feelings, and emotions.  What an illustration of His power that is!  We can trust in that power, and He can be the source of all of our hope, joy and peace, in every circumstance.
