This is an excerpt from this week’s Monday Motivations email that #NLWI sends to our subscribers. I remember how much this devo encouraged me when I first wrote it. Hope it encourages you as well!

“Paul wasn’t telling his readers to worry about their future or fret about whether they are in harmony with other believers. Quite the opposite. In the midst of challenging them to strive for unity and to live godly lives, he said they should have joy and peace and ‘confident hope.’ Dwayne, don’t walk through your life–not even one day–without joy and peace and hope. Don’t settle for anything less. God is in charge, and He is your God. Trust Him. Paul said that is why you can be ‘completely filled’ with joy and peace–because you trust in the LORD.” –from a post on Romans 15:12-13 in my online QT Journal.
