Scripture:
“For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.” — 2 Corinthians 4:17 (NIV)
Devotional Thought:
Beloved, the weight of your current trials cannot be compared with the glory that lies ahead. These challenges, though painful and seemingly unending, are the very raw materials God uses to craft your testimony.
Just as grapes are crushed to produce fine wine, so too are you being prepared for a destiny that will make many marvel at the glory of God in your life.
It may seem like your prayers and fasting have gone unheard. You have walked in obedience, yet the mountains remain unmoved. But take heart, the delay is not a denial. God is preparing the best wine for you. Your story is being refined in the fire, and soon, those who once looked down on you will look up in awe of what God has done.
Do not murmur or grow weary. Instead, ask the Lord what He desires you to learn through this season. Every trial is a divine classroom, and every lesson not learned will be retaken. Be still, be teachable, and be faithful.
God is not a man that He should lie (Numbers 23:19). If He has promised it, He will fulfil it. You are next in line for a mighty testimony. Don’t let go of your faith. Your miracle is closer than it seems.
Prayer:
Father, thank You for being with me in every season. Help me to trust Your process and learn what You are teaching me.
Strengthen my faith that I may endure with joy and patience. I believe that Your promises will be fulfilled in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Reflection:
What lesson might God be trying to teach you in your current challenge? Take time today to pray and listen.
