DAY 20: HOPE ANCHORED IN HIMScripture Romans 15:13 (KJV): Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.Affirmation Hope in God fills me with joy and peace, sustaining me through life’s journey.Dive Deep: Hope That Holds When storms rise, anchors matter. Our hope in God is not wishful thinking—it is a Spirit-powered certainty rooted in God’s character and His unbreakable Word. As we trust His promises, the Holy Spirit floods our hearts with joy and peace, even before circumstances change. Hope is the steady pull of God’s future into our present, securing us when feelings shake and facts shout. When we believe, we abound—not barely survive, but overflow—because the God of hope Himself fills us.Word of the Day: Anchor
- Meaning: A fixed point that holds a vessel steady against waves and wind.
- Why we need it: Life’s currents are real—grief, delays, disappointments, uncertainties. Without an anchor, we drift. God’s Word gives us something stronger than the storm to hold us: Himself.
- Dive Deep: Hebrews 6:19 (KJV) calls our hope “an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast,” secured in God’s unchangeable promise and oath. His Word does not fail (Isaiah 55:11; Numbers 23:19). When we tether our hearts to what He has spoken, we stop being tossed and start standing.Hope anchored in Him is important because only God is unchanging, faithful, and able to fulfill what He promises. Anchoring your hope in the Lord turns hope from wishful thinking into settled confidence that steadies you in every season.

(03:00):
So y'all, I'm gonna go ahead and jump into this lesson.
I'm not going to be before your loan. Just want
to share what was laid in my spirit today. Again,
we are coming out of one of my devotion books.
It's called God is My Refuge and My Present Help.

other books that is available through that platform. Again, today
is day twenty of this twenty one day devotion in
(03:44):
this twenty one day journey, y'all, we've been on this
actual daily devotion journey since the end of March. So
I'm gonna say March, April, May, June, July office. We've
been on this journey for about five months, and God
has truly been blessing. So I thank Him for allow
me this space and allow me this opportunity to be
able to share and to be able to divel a
(04:06):
deeper into His word. So I'm gonna go ahead and
get started on this morning. The go ahead and get
started on this morning. So again our scripture is coming
from Romans fifteen and thirteen. The King James Virgion rees,
now the God of Hope fill you with all joy,
(04:26):
peace and believing that ye may abound and hope through
the power of the Holy Ghost. And out of the
ESV version, it says, 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
(04:46):
of the Holy Ghost, by the Holy Spirit. Our affirmation
for today is hope in God fills me with joy
and peace, sustaining me through life journey. Again, the affirmation
is hope and God fills me with joy and peace,
sustaining me through life's journey. To hope that holds me
(05:11):
when storms rise. Anchors matter Our hope in God is
not wish for thinking. It is spirit powered, certainly rooted
in God's character in his unbreakable word. As we trust
his promise, the Holy Spirit flows through our hearts with
joy and peace, even before circumstances change. Hope is the
(05:35):
steady pool of God's future into our presence, securing us
when feeling shake, fact shout, And when we believe, we abound,
not barely survive, but overflow because God, the God of
hope himself feels us. Our word of today is anchor.
(05:57):
And what does anchor mean? It means a fixed point
that holds a vessel steady against waves. And when why
do we need it? Life's currents are real grief, delays, disappointments, uncertainties.
Without an anchor, we drift. God's word is something stronger
(06:20):
than the storm to hold us himself. And Hebrews six
and nineteen and says call our hope an anchor of God,
calls our hope a anchor of soul, but sure insteadfast,
secure in God's unchangeable promise in oath, his word does
not fail Isaiah fifty five, and he left you also
(06:42):
can go over to numbers twenty three and nineteen. When
we feather our hearts to what He has spoken, we
stop being tossed and start standing. Hope anchored in Him
is important because one only God is unchanging, faithful, and
able to fulfill what he promises. Anchoring your hope in
(07:06):
the Lord turns hope from wishful thinking and to settle
confidence that are steady you in every season, that will
steady you in every season. Get that in your head.
Settle confidence that steadies you in every season. It rests
on God's unchanging character and share promises. It stabilizes your
(07:30):
soul and life storms. It produces real joy and peace
by the Holy Spirit as you trust. It transforms suffering
into endurance, character and confident expectations. It guards you from drift, despair,
(07:51):
and deception. It fuels holy living and courageous witness. It
conforts in grief with a living, resurrection, grounded future. It
overflows into love and service with strengthens others. It secures
your ultimate destiny Christ in you the hope of glory.
(08:19):
God himself is the source, the sustainer and the surge
of your hope. In Romans fifteen and thirteen, it says,
God of Hope, feel you that you may abid in
hope Limitations three twenty one and twenty two. I mean
twenty four It says this I recall to my mind.
Therefore our hope great is thy faithfulness. Hope in God
(08:44):
anchors you beyond your circumstance. Hebrews six and nineteen, which
hope we have as an anchor of the soul. And
Second Corinthians four seventeen and eight it says, our light
affliction is working in eternal weight of glory. We fix
our eyes on the unseen. The Holy Spirit produces joy
(09:08):
and peace as you trust in Romans five and five,
and says the love of God is shed abroad in
our heart by the Holy Ghost. And Galatians five and
twenty two it says the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
and peace. How can we apply these things to our life?
(09:29):
How can we operate in the things that He wants
us to operate in to provide hope and to provide peace. Y'all,
we got to pray your anxieties into his hands and
thank him in advance. And Philippians four six and seven
he said, be careful for nothing. The peace of God
(09:49):
shall keep your heart. And First Peter five and seven.
He said, casting all your cares upon him, for he
cares for you. Learn to speak God's word over your storm,
speak it out loud. He's given us that power. He
told us that in Proverbs eighteen and twenty one. I
think I'm not no theologia, and I don't know, but
(10:11):
he told us that in Proverbs we got to be
able to speak to that storm. And pal, I'm sixty
two five and six he said, my soul weights die
only upon God. He he only is my rock and
my salvation. And Joshua will one and eight it says
this book of Law shall not depart out the mouth, y'all.
(10:36):
We gotta share his word. We gotta speak his word
over our life. He's given us that power. You got
to be able to speak life or death. Be someone
else's lifeline of hope today, be able to give somebody
else at hope. And first, that's a lonely in five
and eleven and said, wherefore, comfort yourself together and ed
(11:00):
one another. Now we got to stop this thinking about ourselves.
He's commanded us to think about other people. He tells
us that over any peas, and think not on our
own things. But I also think on others, and Hebrews
ten twenty three and twenty four it said, let us
hold fast and let us consider one another to provoke
(11:21):
unto love, y'all. I'm gonna share this poem with y'all,
and I'm gonna do my recap, and I'm gonna get
on out of here, y'all. And if you didn't get it,
I want you to go back and hear it again.
Replay it, replay it, replayed until you get it deep
down in your soul. So with every one of these devotions,
there's a scripture, there's an affirmation, there's a lesson, there's
(11:43):
a press starter, a takeaway, and then at the end
there's a poem. I am a poet, so I allow
God to use me however he see fit. And this
is one of the ways that He's allowed me to
be able to express through poetry. So and everything that
I do, I like to bring him honor. I like
to share his goodness and the things that He's done.
And I do it through poetry. I do it through books,
(12:04):
I do it through however He leads me. So the
poem for today is as follow anchored strong my hope
in thee joy and peace flow abundantly by your spirit,
hope will be again anchored strong. My hope in thee
(12:26):
joy and peace flow abundantly by your spirit, hope will
be And that's that piece, y'all. I love poetry and
I just love sharing his goodness. I love to share
that that He's placed in me, and he gives me
that opportunity to do it through my writings, through my poetry,
through podcasts, and through going live and just doing just
(12:49):
doing that. Because again I'm not a theologian. I don't
I don't walk into office. I just share from my
experience as a recap. I want to share this, this
story out of the Bible. We understand that Paul's storm
in Act twenty seven, the winds hollowed, the ship broke,
and fear spread it. But God spoke a promise. He
(13:11):
said there should be no loss of any man's life.
Paul declared, I believe God that this shall be even
as it was spoken Acts twenty seven and twenty five.
It says they cast anchors into the sea, but Paul
was anchored in God's word. Every life on board two
(13:31):
hundred and seventy six souls were saying, just as God said,
that was the anchored hope that does and extended in
the storm and brings others safely to shore. Y'all pay
it forward in the kingdom. Take the hope that God
(13:52):
has poured into you and poured into others. Share your
testimony this weekend. Text a scripture to someone who's sinking.
Pray for your coworkers, Speak life over your family, Give generously,
volunteer where pain is present. Let your good works point
to God, To the good God Matthews five and sixteen.
(14:15):
It says, the God who comfort you will comfort others
through you. Get that. I want you to get that.
It said, the God who comforts you will comfort others
through you. Share your testimony. Don't sit down on what
God has done for you. He allowed you to get
through it so that you can share it with somebody else.
He didn't just allow you to get through just so
(14:36):
you can just you can be glorified. He allowed you
to get through so that you can share it with
somebody else, so that it points back to Him, the
God who comforts. Again, I repeat this, the God who
comforts you will comfort others through you. Be a living
lighthouse as God is glorified. And everything we do again
(15:01):
allow his light to shine so bright to you that
somebody that may not know him today will come to
know him on today, y'all. Tomorrow, Day number twenty one
is our final day, so I want you to join
us for joy and serving others. We're going to be
coming from Galatians five and thirteen by love, serve one another,
(15:25):
come expect, and as we celebrate and recap over our
twenty one day journey of diving deep into God's word,
let's finish strong and overflow with hope today and ready
to pour out joy tomorrow again. If you would like
to get a copy of my devotion is available on

He's given us these gifts and talents not for our edification,
but to bring him glory. So y'all be blessed and

a press starter, a takeaway, and then at the end
there's a poem. I am a poet, so I allow
God to use me however he see fit. And this
is one of the ways that He's allowed me to
be able to express through poetry. So and everything that
I do, I like to bring him honor. I like
to share his goodness and the things that He's done.
And I do it through poetry. I do it through books,
(12:04):
I do it through however He leads me. So the
poem for today is as follow anchored strong my hope
in thee joy and peace flow abundantly by your spirit,
hope will be again anchored strong. My hope in thee
(12:26):
joy and peace flow abundantly by your spirit, hope will
be And that's that piece, y'all. I love poetry and
I just love sharing his goodness. I love to share
that that He's placed in me, and he gives me
that opportunity to do it through my writings, through my poetry,
through podcasts, and through going live and just doing just
(12:49):
doing that. Because again I'm not a theologian. I don't
I don't walk into office. I just share from my
experience as a recap. I want to share this, this
story out of the Bible. We understand that Paul's storm
in Act twenty seven, the winds hollowed, the ship broke,
and fear spread it. But God spoke a promise. He
(13:11):
said there should be no loss of any man's life.
Paul declared, I believe God that this shall be even
as it was spoken Acts twenty seven and twenty five.
It says they cast anchors into the sea, but Paul
was anchored in God's word. Every life on board two
(13:31):
hundred and seventy six souls were saying, just as God said,
that was the anchored hope that does and extended in
the storm and brings others safely to shore. Y'all pay
it forward in the kingdom. Take the hope that God
(13:52):
has poured into you and poured into others. Share your
testimony this weekend. Text a scripture to someone who's sinking.
Pray for your coworkers, Speak life over your family, Give generously,
volunteer where pain is present. Let your good works point
to God, To the good God Matthews five and sixteen.
(14:15):
It says, the God who comfort you will comfort others
through you. Get that. I want you to get that.
It said, the God who comforts you will comfort others
through you. Share your testimony. Don't sit down on what
God has done for you. He allowed you to get
through it so that you can share it with somebody else.
He didn't just allow you to get through just so
(14:36):
you can just you can be glorified. He allowed you
to get through so that you can share it with
somebody else, so that it points back to Him, the
God who comforts. Again, I repeat this, the God who
comforts you will comfort others through you. Be a living
lighthouse as God is glorified. And everything we do again
(15:01):
allow his light to shine so bright to you that
somebody that may not know him today will come to
know him on today, y'all. Tomorrow, Day number twenty one
is our final day, so I want you to join
us for joy and serving others. We're going to be
coming from Galatians five and thirteen by love, serve one another,
(15:25):
come expect, and as we celebrate and recap over our
twenty one day journey of diving deep into God's word,
let's finish strong and overflow with hope today and ready
to pour out joy tomorrow again. If you would like
to get a copy of my devotion is available on

So with that being said, I pray that everyone have
blessed day and I will see y'all back here on tomorrow.
And to God, say, dear friend, y'all, I'm here every
day sharing his word and what he's done because every
good thing that he do should be glorified, should bring
(17:12):
him glory, and it always should point back to him.
He's given us these gifts and talents not for our edification,
but to bring him glory. So y'all be blessed and
go walk in purpose on today, because guess what you
got purpose you didn't get dropped out of the sky.
He strategically placed you here just for this season, so
