July 28 | Making Room for Healing

Today's reading from Psalms 46-48 and Acts 28 reminds us that God is our refuge in every season and that His work often begins when we make room for His presence. Both passages invite us to consider how trust, openness, and steady dependence on God shape our lives over time.In Psalms 46-48, we are reminded that God remains our strength and security even when the world around us feels unstable. These songs call us to be still, remember His faithfulness, and anchor our identity in His unchanging presence rather than our changing circumstances.In Acts 28, Paul arrives on Malta after the shipwreck and experiences both misunderstanding and unexpected favor. When Publius welcomes Paul into his home, God uses that act of hospitality to bring healing first to his father and then to many others on the island, reminding us that making room for God's work often opens the door for His blessing.Together, these passages invite us to reflect on what may be occupying the space God wants to fill. As we continue returning to His Word each day, He gently forms us by teaching us to trust Him enough to let go of what no longer belongs and make room for His restoring work.
