TIMES OF REFRESHING DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: SUNDAY, 8 SEPTEMBER 2024
Jesus’ embrace brings renewal. When Jesus says, “Come to me,” He invites us into His gentle embrace, where our weariness can melt away. Unlike the temporary relief that the world offers, Jesus’ comfort brings lasting renewal. His arms are open, ready to welcome us when we feel like we can’t go any further. In His presence, our souls find the rest that we so desperately need.
SCRIPTURE: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28 (NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: Therefore, beloved, when you feel overwhelmed, it’s natural to seek relief, but the world’s solutions often offer only temporary comfort. Jesus’ invitation is far deeper—it’s an invitation to find lasting renewal. His arms are always open to you, no matter how heavy your burdens may feel. In His embrace, you will find not only rest but also strength to continue your journey with a refreshed heart. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: Jesus’ arms are always open to you, no matter how heavy your burdens may feel. In His embrace, you will find not only rest but also strength to continue your journey with a refreshed heart.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, beloved, allow yourself to enter His presence daily, especially when you feel like you’ve reached your limit. Jesus understands your struggles and knows how weary you can become. He doesn’t just offer sympathy; He offers restoration.
PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You now, seeking the rest and renewal that only You can give. Renew our hearts, refresh our spirits, and give us the strength to press on. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
PROPHETIC WORD: When we feel like we can’t go any further, may the presence of God be the source of our renewal and hope. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
BIBLE TEXTS: Matthew 11:28
