Devotionals - Five minutes at the pump

Fuel-stop devotionals.

Written to be read in the time it takes to fill two tanks. A new one every day, drawn from a year's worth of readings — scripture, a thought to chew on, and a prayer.

Hope Does Not Put to ShameRomans 5:5
No. 323
And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.Romans 5:5

Biblical hope never disappoints because it's not wishful thinking — it's grounded in the character of God and confirmed by the Holy Spirit's presence in your heart. The love you have received is the down payment on every hope you hold.

Reflect

What hope are you holding that feels fragile or at risk of disappointing? Ground it in the love that has been poured into your heart.

Prayer

Lord, my hope is in You — not in circumstances or outcomes. And this hope will not put me to shame. Amen.
