"Firm Foundation"
from "Prayer Changes Everything" Devotion for Today · host Y.E.S. Jesus Youth Encountering Savior Jesus
November 06, 2023 Daily Devotion: "Firm Foundation" James 5:17-18 New International Version 17 Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18 Again, he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops. Our God is relentless. He never ceases His training regimens. He shaves off our hair, He takes away our comfortable and secure lifestyle, He moves us into cramped and unfamiliar quarters, and He changes our circle of friends. In the process, He strips us of all our pride! And then He begins to lay the foundation blocks of heroic courage and a new kind of confidence, if you will—the kind that no longer defends us but defends Him. What a magnificent change that is. And how essential in our journey toward maturity! Again, it's all part of being cut down to size.
