May 27 | The Power of Your Story

Today’s reading from 2 Chronicles 1–3 and John 9:24–41 invites us to reflect on how God forms people through wisdom, worship, and personal testimony over time. Both passages highlight the importance of responding honestly to what God reveals and allowing His work to shape not only our understanding, but also our witness.In 2 Chronicles, Solomon begins his reign by seeking wisdom from God and preparing to build the Temple, establishing rhythms centered around God’s presence and leadership among His people. These chapters remind us that formation often begins with humility, dependence, and a recognition that wisdom is something received from God rather than manufactured through human effort.In John 9, the man who was born blind stands before religious leaders who keep demanding explanations for what happened to him. Yet instead of offering polished arguments, he simply bears witness to the transformation he personally experienced. His testimony becomes a powerful reminder that changed lives often speak more clearly than perfect answers.Together, these passages invite us to consider how God continues shaping our lives through both His presence and our lived experiences with Him. They remind us not to overlook the value of our testimony, and to notice how even ordinary moments of honesty, correction, and growth can become part of the story God is writing in us over time.
