The Daily Dose #0120

Life’s trials often feel like barren winters, but those are the times when God’s grace takes root and flourishes. Challenges teach you to depend on Him more deeply, anchoring your soul in His faithfulness. Through His grace, seasons of difficulty become seasons of growth, shaping you for His glory.

Think on how God’s grace has sustained you through difficult seasons. Are you allowing His strength to carry you? Or are you trying to figure it all out and do it on your own? Lean into His unchanging promises, and trust that even in winter, His grace is at work, producing fruit that lasts.

"But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
— 2 Corinthians 12:9
