TIMES OF REFRESHING DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: SATURDAY, 13 JULY 2024
In our journey through life, we encounter moments of joy, sorrow, uncertainty, and triumph. Amidst all these varied experiences, one constant promise brings us comfort and strength: the assurance of God’s unwavering presence. Jesus’ words in Matthew 28:20, resonate deeply, reminding us that we are never alone.
SCRIPTURE: “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” — Matthew 28:20
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: Jesus spoke these words to His disciples just before ascending into heaven, entrusting them with the Great Commission to spread the Gospel to all nations. This task was monumental and, no doubt, intimidating. Yet, Jesus offered them a profound reassurance – He would be with them always. This promise was not just for the disciples of that era but for all believers throughout history. So, dearly beloved, no matter where we are, how we feel, or what we are doing, God is with us. This means that in the ordinary routines of our daily existence, as well as in the extraordinary moments, His presence is a constant. We can carry the confidence that God walks beside us. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: The promise “Surely, I am with you always” is a beacon of hope and a source of strength. Embrace it, live by it, and let it transform the way you navigate the journey of life. Remember, you are never alone – God is with you, always.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, take a moment today to acknowledge God’s presence in your life. Reflect on the ways He has been with you through different seasons and circumstances. How does the assurance of His constant presence change your perspective on your current situation? How can you draw nearer to Him and rely on His guidance and strength in your daily walk?
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, we thank You for the incredible promise of Your presence with us always. In our moments of joy and in our times of trial, help us to remember that You are with us, guiding, comforting, and empowering us. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
PROPHETIC WORD: May we live each day with the awareness of Jesus’ nearness, and may this assurance fill us with peace, courage, and hope. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
