Kingdom Living

I have created this blog to discuss life issues relevant to these times we live in. With all the stress and pressure of the economic situation, and tension as we watch a new president begin his term in office, it's easy to get discouraged and downhearted. Yet, we have a hope that can lead us through these times, just as we have been led through other times of distress.

In Romans 15:12-13, the Apostle Paul says this:

12 "And again, Isaiah says,
"The Root of Jesse will spring up,
one who will arise to rule over the nations;
the Gentiles will hope in him." (Isaiah 11:10)

Then, Paul encourages the believers, who were facing Kingdom Living in their everyday lives, by saying

13 "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."

Where is your hope today?

Next time... "What is Kingdom Living?"
