The Upper Room Devotional 29th August 2024 Message:
[God] said, “I will certainly bless you and multiply your descendants.” So Abraham obtained the promise by showing patience. – Hebrews 6:14-15 (CEB)
2022 was a very hectic year, filled with unpleasant events. War broke out in my home country, Ukraine, and I realized that I could not cope on my own. I decided to go wherever God would lead me.
By the end of the year, I was living with friends. They were in the process of moving to a new house. It meant a lot of hustle and bustle — dirt from construction, struggles with finances, and problems in the family.
Despite the challenges of the move, my heart was filled with joy for my friends’ new home, which they received as an answer to prayer. I felt at home there. I loved to spin yarn in their kitchen and warm myself near the cozy stove. We celebrated the new year in prayer — with a circle of friends and my spiritual family. Thankfully, I had enough money for everything I needed — even for the traditional Ukrainian Christmas table. God has indeed blessed me. God is always faithful.
Today’s Prayer
Dear God, thank you for helping us to grow in faith. Even if the process of blessing and multiplying means hardships, your way is always best. Amen.
