Are They Separated or Together? — part 6 in a series on opulence

Hope. Joy. Peace.

Where do we sign up?

What line do we get in?

What do we have to do?

Here’s the answer —

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, New International Version

— I’ve heard that word, “trust.”  In an old song.

Something about doing two things and being happy.

Oh, yeah, I remember now —

Trust and obey
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey

— Does this mean that “trust” leads to obedience, or is it the other way around, or do they come as a combo platter?
