Revised with one more prayer request: Devotion and News: Monday, January 26, 2015
ST. JOHN'S MISSION STATEMENT
As the body of Christ, we strive to make disciples of all, focusing on the next generation, through growing...
UP in God's Word and Sacrament
OUT into the community by caring for physical and spiritual need
TOGETHER in fellowship to build lasting relationships in Christ

DEVOTION:
When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though it was shorter. For God said, "If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt. So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea. Exodus 13:17-18
Often people will ask why? A simple question, yet profound. Why is God making me go through this? Why do I have to deal with this now? Why am I suffering as I am? Why didn't I just do it God's way in the first place? We can go on and on with the why questions.
The answer is simple. God is having you go through something so that you can be better off on the other side of it. He is bringing you through the fire so you can be purified and refined. He is bringing you around the long way so you don't change your mind and turn back when things get too hard too soon. He is growing you according to His perfect and pure plan.
It is often hardest to trust God through the tough times, but that is when we must trust Him most to do His will and bring you through it. We want to trust Him, but in our weak and sinful state the devil is right there causing us to question and doubt. Then, just when we are ready to give up, God gives us more grace. He fills our cup of righteousness. He lifts us up, dusts us off and puts us back in the game. He prepares us for every battle, and even better, fights the fight for us when we are too weak to fight it on our own.
The next time you are going through something tough, look for God's action in it? Ask God what He is doing. See God's hand working in ways that you would have never worked on your own. And as you see Him working in and through you rejoice that he cares about you so much that he is doing it!
Prayer: Lord God, when I am down, discouraged, disillusioned, and just plain at a loss show me Your way, lead me in Your paths, fill my cup with Your righteousness, lift me up, dust me off, and show me the wonderful things you are doing in me and through me. Amen.
