God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction. — Genesis 41:52

 In today's Bible reading, we learn that Joseph was in a position of authority, which God soon utilized to provide for his family, the neighboring nations, and the world during a time of famine. But how did he come to be so well-known? Being sold into slavery (Gen. 39) was the initial wound that led to the creation of a pearl of great value. When Joseph was humiliated, he drew on God's resources, which caused him to improve rather than go worse. He remarked, "God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction" (41:52) and gave his second son the name Ephraim, which means "twice fruitful".

Adversity frequently disguises itself as a blessing. If we embrace hardship and put up with every discomfort, we will eventually learn what we need to know. 

Our sorrow will result in gain.

What profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? — Matthew 16:26

 Your life or your leg? What a choice! What if the stakes were bigger, though? If you had to pick between giving up a habit, goal, or relationship and giving up heaven, which would you choose? The Lord made the decision to follow Him extremely important. What good does it do a man if he obtains the whole world but loses his own soul, he said. (Mt.16:26). You and I both need to provide an answer to it.

Whoever offers what he cannot keep in order to obtain what he cannot lose is not a fool.   Was my life worth living for only one day if I attained the world but not the Savior?

Could the things that will soon be gone provide consolation and rest for my weary heart?

You are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. — Colossians 2:10

 The apostle Paul forewarned his people against following false teachers who offered them "bread and cheese" rather than "steak." They were in danger of putting their own self-effort ahead of Christ's sufficiency (2:8,20–23). In addition to being guaranteed a place in paradise, those of us who have placed our faith in Christ for salvation also have everything we need to live for Him right now (Col. 1:13–14; 2:6–15). 

Christ has all that we require. It includes the "ticket."

Live the Christian life in the same way that you started it—by placing your faith in Christ. God freely extends His grace to everyone who relies on His Word because they have discovered the source of His limitless supply.

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another. — Ephesians 4:32

 Read the brief letter that the apostle Paul wrote to Philemon, a prosperous citizen of Colosse, for a good illustration of how to improve relationships. Onesimus, a slave of Philemon who had stolen from him and gone to Rome, is the subject. Onesimus encountered Paul there, who helped him come to a saving understanding of Jesus. Paul is pleading with Philemon in this letter to take Onesimus back, this time as a brother. It's a wonderful illustration of love in action. 

Paul referred to Onesimus as a "son" (v. 10) and a "beloved brother" (v. 16) despite the fact that he deserved Philemon's punishment. He pledged to pay back the items Onesimus had taken.  

Paul was skilled at mend relationships. Do we?

Relationships can be patched up with forgiveness. God of grace and God of goodness, teach me to always be kind, patient, and understanding with the Savior at the forefront of my thoughts.

Let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. — 1 Thessalonians 5:6

 Imagine receiving the news this morning that today would be your last day on the planet. What would you do with its brief hours? Who would you demand to see? Would you act in a much different manner than you usually do? 

Someone once said something profound like, "You should treat every day as if it's your last one, because one of these days you're going to be right." 

There is no avoiding it. One of these days will be our last, whether our earthly life ends as a result of an accident, disease, the effects of aging, or the second coming of our Lord. We should be extremely careful with our actions and words because of this.

By showing our love and thanks to others, attempting to mend fences with estranged friends, or sharing the gospel with a neighbor, we should be tying up the loose ends of long-forgotten things.

You might even have been delaying your decision to embrace Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior until a more opportune time. However, it might never happen. Since you never know when it will be your final day on earth, pay attention to Paul's inspired statement that "Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2).

Do you approach each day as though it were your last?

If this were your last day, what would you change? Believe in Christ, redeem the time, and get ready right away. The knowledge that death is inevitable should influence how you live today.

A lizard can be caught with the hand, yet it is found in kings' palaces. — Proverbs 30:28 (NIV)

 Lizards are able to evade security and housekeeping staff and enter the most upscale lodgings. The writer of Proverbs 30:28 expressed surprise that a lizard (NKJV: "spider") could be found even in a king's throne room. 

The idea of who would reside in the royal palaces of heaven should also astound us. 

 And keep in mind that we are unlikely candidates to live in heaven because of sin. But through God's favor, we will live in paradise as God's children. 

God takes unexpected people and enthrones them for all time in His palace through the mystery of grace. And getting there doesn't need us to scale any walls. Wow!

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. — Hebrews 11:1

 Ecclesiastes' author had a similar sense of futility. He saw diligent individuals caught in a mindless loop, only to perish and be forgotten. In his writing, he declared, "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity" (1:2). However, he understood that this was not the complete picture. He claimed throughout the entire book that acknowledging God gives life significance. 

And the author of Hebrews said that faith gives us hope and enables us to comprehend the truths that give life meaning and purpose, writing his words after the life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ.

Do you believe that life has betrayed you? If so, turn your faith toward Jesus. He was wrongfully crucified so that you could be absolved of your sin and live a life that is meaningful (John 3:16; 10:10). He will free you from those thoughts of futility if you decide to live by faith for Him.

Christ makes life right side up in a world that is upside down. Jesus is everything to me; He is my life, my pleasure, my everything; He gives me daily strength; without Him, I would crumble.

The words of the Lord are pure words. — Psalm 12:6

 Even if many people provide their word, we cannot trust what they say. After been let down a few times, we start to believe that no one is trustworthy. 

The author of Psalm 12, David, shared this sentiment. Although the precise circumstances that brought about his statements are unknown to us, he felt surrounded by unreliable people. He bemoaned that "everyone lies" (v. 2 NIV). 

Everyone, excluding God, that is. Like silver that has been refined seven times, his words are perfect and pure (v. 6). We have faith in God. He keeps his word. He can't be lying.

A promise from God is never too good to be true.   O Lord, I know I can trust You even when it feels like I can't trust anyone. I take You at Your Word.

Make my words as trustworthy and pure as Yours. Amen.

Take now your son . . . and offer him there as a burnt offering. — Genesis 22:2

Think about Abraham's reaction to a challenging circumstance. He had been assured that he would father an enormous nation. What happiness this must have brought him! Then God told Abraham to offer his only son as a sacrifice. The command, in the patriarch's eyes, was in direct opposition to the promise (Gen. 15:5; 22:2). 

Abraham executed the command; but how could the promise of God be accomplished? He would have told God to forget it if he had responded in the manner of the individuals Steve Lawson was referring to. Though he didn't. When he followed God's instructions, he witnessed God offer a replacement offering. Due to Abraham's obedience, God maintained his promise.

The path to blessing is the path of obedience. At first, obeying God appears difficult, but as we learn that what He asks is for our welfare, obedience to Him becomes easier and more enjoyable.

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved. — Acts 16:31

 The most significant choice you can make in life is to put your faith in Jesus as your Savior. 

In Acts 2, the apostle Peter urged a group of skeptics to repent of their sin and place their faith in Jesus. Peter's words still apply to us today. Pray to Christ and beg Him to save you if you haven't already accepted His free gift of reconciliation. Then, after you've done that, make the second-most crucial choice: resolve to follow Christ's guidance every day.

What you do with Jesus is the biggest decision of your life. Come to God the Father through His loving Son, Jesus Christ, if you want to experience His love; He will pardon your sins and save your soul forever, and you will have an unending love for this obedient One.

Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. — Job 13:15

 When friends are loyal, the body is healthy, and the business is successful, a weak faith may appear to be powerful. A genuinely strong faith, however, holds fast to the Lord's promises and trusts in His fidelity even in the face of loss of loved ones, declining health, and ominous clouds in the sky. 

D. L. Moody, an evangelist, famously said, "Trust in yourself and you are doomed to disappointment; trust in your friends, and they will die and leave you; but trust in God, and you will never be confounded in time or eternity." 

In your hour of need, resist murmuring and rebelling. In every difficulty, learn to trust God.

Trials are the fertile ground where faith can grow.

Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth. — Proverbs 27:1

 Are we both going to be here tomorrow, next month, or next year? Making preparations for the future is certainly a wise idea, but we must do so while remaining mindful of the ambiguity of life. 

Life is "a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away," as James reminded us in today's Bible reading (4:14). As a result, we should declare, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that" (v. 15). 

Will you still be here in six months? Let this question serve as a reminder to live obediently for the Lord Jesus Christ right now.

All accounts should be settled today; tomorrow cannot be trusted. We only have the now, so make the most of it by working hard. Do not put off your work till tomorrow because the hands of time might stop then.

Lord, make me to know my end, and what is the measure of my days. — Psalm 39:4

 They came to the conclusion that life is too short to squander it on things that will not matter or be valuable in the long run, much like the inspired author of Psalm 39 (vv. 4-6). 

Have we arrived at the same decision? Have we truly trusted the Lord, recognizing that only He can give our lives permanent meaning? Can we say, with the psalmist, "My hope is in You" as we anticipate a new year? (v.7). 

Only God can save us from a life of pointless pursuits. Let's not wait for a near-death experience to persuade us of the critical significance of living life to the fullest.

What matters is how you live, not how long you live. I only have one life to give to Christ, and I cherish that life more and more with each passing year.
