Have you ever hoped for something, and it didn't happen the way you hoped? You're not alone.
In this REVING the Word workout, Alisa takes us into Romans 5 and the surprising connection between suffering, endurance, character, and hope. Because sometimes hope hurts when we attach certainty to a specific outcome.
What if your hope isn't in how God will answer, when He will answer, or what it will look like—but in this: God will get His glory. You can be sure of what you hope for without being certain you'll see the exact outcome you're hoping for. So what do you do in the in-between?
Don't quit. Change your pace. Put your hope back in Christ. And worship.
New to REVING the Word?
In REVING the Word episodes, we come here to bow our heads and let our hearts speak, so God can pour His love into our hearts as we move. We move our bodies. We hear the Word of God. And we let God meet us—body, soul, and spirit.
ANCHOR SCRIPTURE
Romans 5:1–5
EMBODIED PRACTICE
Ask yourself: What am I hoping for? Write it down, but release your certainty about the outcome.
Put it on the altar and put your hope in a place it won't hurt, His glory.
Embody joy:
Guard your eyes and heart. Move your body. Be still. Pray. Listen to worship music. Read the Word. Do something that helps you embody joy.
