Thursday, February 10th

This was part of God’s plan, for he was chosen and destined for this before the foundation of the earth was laid, but he has been made manifest in these last days for you. It is through him that you now believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, so that you would fasten your faith and hope in God alone. Now, because of your obedience to the truth, you have purified your very souls, and this empowers you to be full of love for your fellow believers. So express this sincere love toward one another passionately and with a pure heart. For through the eternal and living Word of God you have been born again. And this “seed” that he planted within you can never be destroyed but will live and grow inside of you forever. For: Human beings are frail and temporary, like grass, and the glory of man fleeting like blossoms of the field. The grass dries and withers and the flowers fall off, but the Word of the Lord endures forever! And this is the Word that was announced to you!
1 Peter 1:20-25

Today’s Thought
A seed cannot grow in the light, it must germinate in the darkness… The most critical moments of your life are when you’re hidden in obscurity, but you will never forget those moments when your promise comes to pass.

Today’s Confession
Father, I thank you that even though it may seem dark, I can maintain the understanding that I am in growth. I thank you for the seasons of obscurity that will lead me closer to the promises you have for my life. Thank you for reminding me of those seasons of obscurity as I step into seasons of promise so I can always be aware of your faithfulness in my life.
