Day 11: Leave Nothing Undone

Question: What are you leaving undone before the Lord in His calling to give an answer for the hope that is in you?

Bible Passage: Romans 15:13 “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

1 Peter 3:15 “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.”

Reflection: Since our hope is only ever found in one place, Jesus Christ, we can rest assured that our hope is secure. With disappointment and difficulty being a regular occurrence in our world and daily lives, isn’t that the best news! Whether you are facing health concerns, family upheaval, job uncertainty, or just your own struggles and doubts, wouldn’t you want someone to share with you the “Light at the end of the tunnel” so to speak? Since we as believers in Christ know true hope is only ever found in the goodness of the Lord, we are called to offer His hope to anyone struggling.

Author Paul David Tripp shares this quote: “Hope is rooted in the goodness,
holiness, power, promises, and grace of God. It is about holding on to the belief that
God will not let His grace die, that He will not let His plan fade away, and that He will
keep every one of His promises He has made.”

That is the hope and good news that each one of us not only needs to hear but
needs to share. Let’s be so quick to share the shining hope of Jesus and His word
every chance we get and leave nothing undone.

Prayer: Father, thank You for the unending and abounding hope that You offer to us by the power and presence of Your Holy Spirit, in the Bible, and through Your Son Jesus. Help us to be quick to give an answer for the hope that is in us in every situation to every person with meekness and fear. Please forgive us for missed opportunities and for spiritual amnesia, at times, to not put Your hope and Your goodness at the forefront of our hearts, minds, and actions. We need You to fill us with the overflowing power and presence of Your Holy Spirit so that those around us are immersed in Your hope and goodness, all for Your glory. In Jesus name, Amen
