February 12, 2026 Strength in Christ Today’s Scripture: “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13 (KJV) Today’s Reflection: In the midst of life’s challenges, whether facing overwhelming tasks, personal struggles, or uncertainties, Paul’s words remind us that true strength doesn’t come from our own abilities or circumstances. Written from a prison cell, this verse highlights how Christ empowers us to endure and thrive in any situation. It’s not a promise of superhuman feats or instant success, but an assurance that through our relationship with Him, we gain the resilience, wisdom, and peace needed to press on. Today, consider areas where you feel weak or inadequate; invite Christ’s strength to transform them into opportunities for growth and testimony. Today’s Application: Identify one challenge you’re facing right now. Instead of relying solely on your own efforts, pause and pray for Christ’s empowering presence. Take a small step forward, trusting in His provision, and reflect on how it shifts your perspective. Today’s Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the promise in Philippians 4:13. Help me to lean not on my own understanding or strength, but on Christ who strengthens me. In moments of doubt or fatigue, remind me of Your power at work within me. Guide my steps today, that I may glorify You in all things. Amen.

Wednesday February 11, 2026 Abounding in Grace Scripture: “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” 2 Corinthians 9:8 (KJV) Today’s Reflection: In this verse, Paul reminds the Corinthian church, and us today, of God’s boundless generosity. It’s not just about financial provision, though that’s part of it; it’s a promise of comprehensive sufficiency. God pours out His grace so abundantly that we lack nothing essential for living out our faith. This “all sufficiency in all things” equips us to overflow into good works, serving others with joy and without reservation. Think about a time when you felt inadequate, maybe in your relationships, work, or spiritual life. This verse assures us that God’s grace bridges those gaps, turning our limitations into opportunities for His glory. As we rely on Him, we’re not just surviving; we’re thriving, ready to give generously in every area. Today’s Application: Today, identify one “good work” you can do, perhaps encouraging a friend, volunteering your time, or practicing gratitude in a challenging situation. Trust that God’s grace will provide what you need to follow through. Journal how you see His sufficiency at work by the end of the day. Today’s Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your abundant grace that meets every need. Help me to live in Your sufficiency today, so I can abound in good works for Your kingdom. May I not hold back but give freely, knowing You are my endless source. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

February 10, 2026 Building Hope Through Trials Scripture: Romans 5:3-4 (KJV) “And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope.” Today’s Reflection In the midst of life’s challenges, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or discouraged. Yet, the Apostle Paul reminds us in Romans that we can actually “glory” in our tribulations, not because suffering is enjoyable, but because it serves a divine purpose. Tribulation, or hardship, isn’t wasted; it produces patience, teaching us to endure with steadfastness. That patience then forges experience, giving us wisdom and resilience from lessons learned. Ultimately, this chain leads to hope, a confident expectation in God’s faithfulness that sustains us through any storm. Consider a time when a difficulty in your life built your character. Maybe a job loss taught you perseverance, or a health struggle deepened your trust in God. These verses encourage us to shift our perspective: instead of resenting trials, we can embrace them as opportunities for growth, knowing they refine us and draw us closer to the unshakeable hope found in Christ. Today’s Application Today, identify one current challenge and thank God for how it might be shaping you. Practice patience in a small way, like waiting calmly in traffic or responding kindly in a frustrating conversation. Let this build your experience and renew your hope. Today’s Prayer Heavenly Father, thank You for the promise in Your Word that our tribulations are not in vain. Help me to glory in them, knowing they produce patience, experience, and hope. Strengthen my faith today, and remind me of Your presence in every trial. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Worldly sorrow circles endlessly around shame, embarrassment, and loss. It looks backward and inward, replaying failure without resolving it. Godly sorrow, however, looks upward. It acknowledges guilt before a holy God and produces a turning of the heart, a movement away from sin and toward obedience.
