Devotional
When Christ is our foundation, we are not left to face life’s challenges alone. Instead, we are supported by His unshakable strength, a strength that is made perfect in our weakness. In our moments of greatest need, His grace sustains us, and His power enables us to endure and overcome.
Key Scripture
But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.2 Corinthians 12:9, NIV
Refreshing for the Day
Life is a journey filled with trials, challenges, and moments of profound difficulty. Whether it’s a personal loss, a health crisis, financial struggles, or the daily pressures of life, we all face situations that test our strength and endurance. In these times, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, discouraged, and even powerless. However, for those who are rooted in Christ, these trials become opportunities to experience a different kind of strength—a strength that comes not from us, but from God. Stay Refreshed!
Note This
When we build our lives on the foundation of Christ, we discover a joy that is not dependent on external circumstances, and a fulfillment that transcends the temporary satisfactions of this world.
Responsibility
So, beloved, as you journey in life, even in the face of challenges, consciously choose to rely on God’s power rather than your own.
Pause in His presence
Prayer

Carry this with you
