TIMES OF REFRESHING DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: SATURDAY, 11 MAY 2024
Many believe that the most profound lessons emerge from life’s toughest challenges. When we confront adversity directly, it compels us to delve into the depths of our being, revealing reservoirs of strength, resilience, and courage previously untapped. These attributes serve as the catalysts for change, the transformative forces that convert our trials into victories.
SCRIPTURE: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” — Romans 8:28 (NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: But transformation doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a journey, a process of refinement that requires patience, perseverance, and faith. Like a sculptor chiseling away at a block of marble to reveal the masterpiece within, we too must be willing to undergo the necessary shaping and molding to become who we’re meant to be. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: Our challenges can be the fertile ground in which our growth takes root.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, let us embrace our challenges not as obstacles to be avoided, but as opportunities for growth.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, grant us the faith to persevere when the road ahead seems daunting, knowing that through our trials, our character is being refined and our faith strengthened. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
PROPHETIC WORD: May we find comfort in God’s presence, knowing that He is near to the brokenhearted and that His grace is always sufficient for us. In the name of Jesus, Amen!
BIBLE TEXTS: Romans 8:28, James 1: 2-4
