📖 Verse of the Day

Reflection:

In the grand narrative of our lives, suffering is an inevitable chapter. It's a plot twist that can leave us feeling disoriented, wondering how the story could possibly end well. But 1 Peter 5:10 offers us a perspective that changes everything.

Yes, we will suffer for a little while. But this verse reminds us that our suffering is not the defining theme of our lives. It's a page, not the whole book. And the Author? He's the God of all grace.

This grace isn't a weak wish or a trite platitude. It's a transformative force that meets us in our deepest pain and whispers, "This isn't the end." It's the grace that called us to eternal glory in Christ, and it's the same grace that will carry us there.

And here's the stunning promise: after we have suffered, God Himself will restore us. He will take the broken chapters of our lives and weave them into a story of redemption, strength, and unshakable hope. Our pain will become a platform for His power.

So today, if you find yourself in a season of suffering, remember this: your story isn't over. The God of all grace is still writing, still working, still restoring. Trust in His unfailing love, lean into His promise, and let hope rise. The best chapters are yet to come.

Ask Yourself:

• How can you see God’s refining work in your current struggles?

• What steps can you take today to trust in His promise of restoration and strength?

🙏 Prayer of the Day

Dear God,

When I'm in the midst of suffering, remind me that this is just one chapter of my story, not the whole book. Help me to trust that You are turning my pain into something beautiful.

When I feel lost and overwhelmed, fill my heart with Your peace and hope. Thank You for being with me, restoring me, and writing the best chapters yet to come. I trust in Your unfailing love and grace.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
