Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture from Our Daily Inspirations App
The scripture is from John12:24-25, “Most certainly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit. He who love his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.”
The devotion is titled I Almost Gave Up, But Then… by Darla Noble. This devotion is to remind us that God never gives up on us. When we are spiritually shriveled, He doesn’t give up. He keeps taking care of us until we realize all that care and provision will help us grow into so much more than what we would be without Him. We are instructed to continue to be rooted in the love and salvation of Jesus.
Reflection: What incident in your life has left you felling angry, hurt, or resentful? Have you turned this over to the Lord, asking Him to help this make you stronger in your faith?
Here was my response: I had two incidents in my life that left me feeling angry, hurt, and resentful. One was when Mr. Cortez became principal at Silver Wing elementary School and later, the principal at Rice Elementary. I turned both incidents over to the Lord. He resolved them. As a result my faith became stronger because I did rely on the Lord.
My Prayer for us: Dear Heavenly Lord, Please open our eyes to see you clearly. Let us grow in Your ways, thriving in the hope of salvation. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
