CHRIST IS OUR FIRM FOUNDATION (3)
TIMES OF REFRESHING DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: FRIDAY, 16 AUGUST 2024
Again, beloved, with Christ as our foundation, we experience a profound peace that transcends circumstances. In the midst of life’s storms, where chaos and uncertainty seem to rule, finding peace can often feel elusive. Our world is filled with unpredictable events, stressful situations, and emotional upheavals that can unsettle even the most steadfast of hearts. Yet, the Bible promises a peace that goes beyond human comprehension, a peace that is available to us through Christ.
SCRIPTURE: “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:7, NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: When Christ is the foundation of our lives, we are anchored in a divine peace that surpasses all understanding. This peace is not merely the absence of conflict but a profound inner calm and assurance that holds firm even when the world around us is in turmoil. It is a peace that guards our hearts and minds, shielding us from anxiety and fear. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: When Christ is the foundation of our lives, we are anchored in a divine peace that surpasses all understanding.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, beloved, this week, take moments to intentionally focus on Christ and His promises. When you encounter stressful or unsettling situations, pause to pray, and invite His peace into those moments.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts that seek Your peace. Amid our daily struggles and the chaos that surrounds us, we long for the profound peace that only You can provide. Help us to anchor our lives in Christ, our firm foundation, and to trust in Your promises. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
PROPHETIC WORD: May we experience God’s unshakable peace not only in times of tranquility but also amid the storms of life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
BIBLE TEXTS: Philippians 4:7, 1 Cor. 3:11, Matthew 7:24-25
