Devotional:

Life often presents us with challenges that may seem to threaten the achievement of our goals and realisation of our dreams. However resilience and perseverance are essential for overcoming these challenges.

Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers, falsely accused, and imprisoned, Joseph faced tremendous hardships. Yet, he remained faithful and resilient, trusting in God's plan. His perseverance was rewarded when he rose to a position of great authority in Egypt, ultimately saving his family and many others from famine. Joseph's life is an example of how resilience and perseverance, combined with faith in God's promises, lead to extraordinary outcomes.

Resilience is the ability to handle stress, challenge and unexpected setbacks very well and even come out stronger, while perseverance is the steadfastness to continue despite difficulties. Both qualities are crucial for fulfilling God's purposes in our lives. When we persevere through trials, grow, build character and strengthen our faith.

We implore you to trust that God is with you in every trial, and He will give you the strength to endure. Remember that perseverance is not just about enduring but doing so with faith and hope in God's promises.

Here are a few reflective questions:

  1. Am I resilient? Do I have what it takes to persevere?
  2. What challenges am I currently facing that require resilience and perseverance?
  3. Do I have what it takes to stay committed to God's will even when it's difficult?

LET US PRAY:

Father God, Help me to persevere.  Strengthen my faith and resilience that I will not give up when faced with challenges. Amen.

Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them

  • I know where I am headed.
  • I am resilient and strong, capable of overcoming any challenge with God's help.
  • I will face my fears. I will face my challenges. I will overcome them

Do have a beautiful day. Take good care of yourself, till tomorrow.
