Treasures in the Sand Box!

Written by Gail Rodgers

God knows. God Cares. God loves you. There is hope.  A mentor is waiting to talk with you now.  

”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.” (Romans 15:13)

Yesterday my grandson dug up “treasures” in his sand box. We both knew the little cars were in there because I had carefully covered them over lightly so he could have the fun of re-discovering each one.

This morning I thought of that as I looked into God’s word and saw two amazing treasures that I knew were there all along. Digging them out again I re-discovered the shining truths that simply blessed my heart.

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.” (Romans 15:13)

“May the GOD OF PEACE, … equip you with everything good for doing His will, and my He work in us what is pleasing to Him, through Jesus.”  

(Hebrews 13:20 & 21)

May the God of Hope & Peace fill you with all you need today – and more – as you simply trust Him to do just that!

Father God,

We so often take Your familiar word for granted. Thank you that You continue to help us dig out Your treasures. May we walk in today with a joy and confidence, a peace and assurance that is steady and amazing because we have freshly uncovered the wonderful timeless truth of Your word. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

Question: Which verse or verses do you turn to when you need to be reminded of God’s goodness?

    Thank you, Gail, for this devotional. I needed this today. I am facing a HUGE Mid-Term exam this week in Seminary and I do not think that I am prepared for it. So this was appropriate for me to read today. Thank you again.
