ADAPT YOUR METHODS, NOT JUST YOUR EFFORTS (4)
TIMES OF REFRESHING DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: MONDAY, 1 JULY 2024
Therefore, beloved, praying fervently and pouring your hearts into serving God, working tirelessly and yet the results are not what you expected could have nothing to do with your efforts. Yes, it is true. You may think you are a failure, but sometimes, what you call failure is an opportunity to re-strategize and begin again, but this time in a new method. Little wonder, the Bible says,
SCRIPTURE: “For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.” — Proverbs 24:16 (NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: Failures are an inevitable part of life. They can be discouraging, but they also provide valuable lessons and opportunities for growth. The Bible encourages us to persevere through failures and to learn from them, trusting that God can use even our setbacks for our good and His glory. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: Failures and trials are part of God’s refining process. They test our faith, build our perseverance, and contribute to our spiritual maturity.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, beloved, trust that God is with you every step of the way, using each experience to draw you closer to Him and to shape you into the person He created you to be.
PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your grace and mercy, even in our failures. Help us to learn from our mistakes and to see them as opportunities for growth. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
PROPHETIC WORD: May you find strength and wisdom in your failures, learning from them and adjusting your path with faith and resilience. In the name of Jesus, Amen!
BIBLE TEXTS: Proverbs 24:16
