Devotional: Our growth often comes through opposition and tension. Just as muscles develop through resistance, our faith is strengthened through challenges. It’s during these difficult times that we are conformed into the image of Christ. While it may be hard to see the purpose in our pain, we can trust that God is using these experiences to refine us and make us fit for heaven. Don’t despise these times; instead, see them as opportunities for growth and transformation.
Bible Verse: Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, ‘So shall your offspring be.’ – Romans 4:18-23
