       Now, the Holy Spirit also causes us to “abound in hope” (see Romans 15:13). The opposite of this is not believing good will happen to us and for us both now and in the future. If we have the negative attitude of unbelief in our minds, we cannot have hope, and we will not see the power of the Spirit flowing in our daily lives. If you ever feel like as you go throughout your day that you are not enjoying your day and you don’t have peace, odds are you are living in unbelief. When we live in unbelief, we cannot enjoy ourselves because we are looking at life with a negative overcast. And we believe that God is negative, and doesn’t really want to help us or give us anything. I pray that the Spirit will convict us of this type of thinking, and bring it to attention. Some of us need more work than others in this area. But, with continual persistence, we can make the change for the good in our minds.
