Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4. perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. *TOPIC:* GRACE SUSTAINS *THE MESSAGE:* Accepting Jesus and securing a place in God's kingdom does not exempt the believer from life's challenges. This text encourages the believer to rejoice in suffering because it will produce endurance and build his character as well as give him hope that does not put him to shame. This becomes possible because God has poured His love and grace into our hearts to sustain us through the power of the Holy Spirit. This further teaches us that facing difficulties can help us to become stronger in our faith. Are you facing some trials? Do not give up; trust in the sustaining power of God’s grace. Believers are equipped to support one another during hard times. From personal experiences, encourage the weak to be strong and hopeful. *REFLECTION:* Lean on God's grace. *PRAYER:* Father, thank You for sustaining my life daily. Amen. *MEMORY VERSE FOR THE MONTH:* EPHESIANS 2:8-9. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast." *TODAY'S BIBLE READING PLAN:* GENESIS 45-47. 2. Evening prayer for today. Evening Prayer Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. ⏤ Psalm 51:10 God does nothing but by prayer, and everything with it. ⏤ John Wesley Our Father, bless us, Your children, as we bow before You now at the close of the day. We haven’t lived as well as we intended when we set out this morning. We thought we would soar like eagles, but instead, we’ve only dragged ourselves along the ground. We thought we wouldn’t forget You for a moment, but somehow we’ve let You slip out of our thoughts many times. Our day, which began so brightly with good intentions and sincere goals, has turned out to be marred and stained. Father, forgive us—and then teach us wisdom from the mistakes and sins of today so that we can make tomorrow a holier day. Help us learn from our own errors so that we don’t repeat them. We bring our day’s work to You. It doesn’t seem like much. We’ve done our best in our various roles—in our jobs and work, in our tasks at home, in school, and in our activities. We’ve tried to be patient and kind to each other within our home. We’ve tried to be good neighbors to those around us. Where we’ve failed in any of these duties, we ask for Your forgiveness and the grace to do better. Bless us now at the end of this day. As we go to rest for the night, please receive us into Your care. If death should come to any of us before morning, receive us into our Father’s house. If we live to see the dawn of a new day, prepare us for its duties. We also pray tonight for those who don’t have the shelter of home and love like we do. Remember the sick and those keeping vigil through the night beside them. Comfort all who are sitting in sorrow and give them strength to accept Your will. We ask for these mercies and favors in Jesus’ name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/12/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion.
