DCLM Daily Manna 12 June 2021 Devotional – Winning In Crisis
TODAY’S DCLM DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL FOR SATURDAY 12TH JUNE 2021 WRITTEN BY PASTOR W.F KUMUYI
TOPIC: WINNING IN CRISIS
TEXT: Job 1:13-22
KEY VERSE: “In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.” – (Job 1:22)
TODAY’S DCLM DAILY MANNA OUTLINE:
Horatio G. Spafford had a beautiful family of six. His business was almost ruined by the inferno in Chicago in 1871. While battling with that, Ana, his wife and four daughters suffered shipwreck. Tragically, all the four daughters drowned leaving their mother. Nine days later, the wife was able to contact Spafford by telegraph with a short message “saved alone – what shall I do?”
While Spafford was going to meet his wife through the next available ship, the Captain of the ship pointed out the spot where the shipwreck took place. Reflecting over it, Spafford penned down the words of the song that we know today as “It is well with my soul”.
The story of all the calamities that befell Job in the passage under consideration is not new to any Bible reader. He lost all, including his children. The loss was monumental, the grief was unimaginable. However, in the midst of it all, he maintained an uncommon calm that only God can give. He blessed God and resolved not to sin in thought, word or deed.
Life is a battle. Often, we are tempted, tried and troubled so much to make us despair. However, we must note that many giants of faith are baked in the furnace of trials. What makes a man triumph is the ability to withstand sore trials without breaking. The stuff a person is made of can only be tested in times of adversity.
As children of God, we need to come to the point of totally surrendering all to Jesus. We should watch out for and resist our attachment to the things of this world. The negative vicissitudes of life may come in quick succession like a torrential rain, putting great pressure on our heart. But we must know that suicide is not the solution neither quitting from God’s service. Having strong faith in God when all hope is lost is the secret of triumph.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “The darker it gets, the more we should sing”.
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Samuel 17-18
