JUNE 9 – DEVOTIONAL
Journey of Faith: Goodness and Mercy
📖 Hebrews 11:6 — “But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.”
This scripture reveals that faith is the foundation of our walk with God. It reminds us that God not only desires our trust, but He also rewards those who diligently seek Him. Faith enables us to look beyond our circumstances and confidently rest in God’s promises, knowing that He is faithful.
Beloved, be encouraged knowing that no matter what challenges or uncertainties may arise, you can continue to look unto Jesus and trust His leading for goodness and mercy. Through every high and low, God’s goodness goes before you and His mercy follows after you. In due season, your faith will produce evidence of His faithfulness.
✨ Have a faith-filled day! May you and your family be encouraged to trust God wholeheartedly, walk confidently in His promises, and experience the tangible evidence of His goodness and mercy in every area of your lives. Shalom!🙏🏾
