Today's Devotion:
"FAITH Like an OYSTER"
In the sea, an oyster lies.
And the sand creeps within.
The oyster, upon the sand cries.
And the tears grow a pearl within.
________SCRIPTURE_________________
1 Peter 1:6-9
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for
a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness
through manifold temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more
precious than of gold that perisheth, though it
be tried with fire, might be found unto praise
and honour and glory at the appearing of
Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom,
though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye
rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the
salvation of your souls.
KJV
________THOUGHT_____________________
Sometimes we face a "trial of ...faith."
It doesn't matter WHO you are, the world and
Satan throws difficulties your way.
Once, I had a light fixture which was not
working properly.
After taking the light fixture down, I noticed
one of the wires was not attached.
When I reattached the wire properly, the
light shone brightly.
FAITH, on the inside is an eternal circuit!
Difficulties may cause the circuit to be
temporarily broken.
But we can reattach through PRAYER!
Daily prayer keeps the fluidity of the
circuit like the secretion in the oyster!
Yes, a person of faith in Christ has an
ETERNAL connection through the indwelling
presence of God's Holy Spirit.
Christian, your FAITH is more precious
than GOLD!
When the pain of unjustness, or the hurt
of loss enters, PRAY!
Keep the secretion of faith FLOWING.
USE your faith like an OYSTER!
Let the eternal circuit cause your light
to shine BRIGHTLY.
Then, you can "rejoice with joy unspeakable!"
Because you KNOW, at the end of all the
trials of life, you will see JESUS!
Love ya!
