Daily Devotion (English) – 28.09.2024

 

Sacrifice is rewarding.

 

"Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it" - Hebrews 12:11

 

In the scriptures we read that many were blessed to experience trials and live as sacrificial vessels. Naomi experienced trails in her life and went on the path of great sacrifice. In the end we see Naomi greatly blessed. Her life was as the waters of Marah but became sweet. The prosperity of Naomi, like Marah, turned bitter and then sweet. Job's life bordered on sacrifice. Then we see that Job received a double reward in his life

 

In the path of life of William Carey, who was praised as the father of missionaries, he lost all his Bible translation copies, printing presses, tent and many other things, money, also his child and wife, but he worked tirelessly, lived as a sacrificial sheep after many sufferings, and has been immortalized in Christian history. William Carey's story is spoken till now, like dying Abel's blood.

 

Thomas Alva Edison was the inventor of over a hundred inventions. The background to his enduring fame is the fruits of his sacrifice and the rare discoveries he made. His wife screamed that our goods worth 20 lakh dollars are gone. But Edison said to his wife, "Even all our wrongs have been burnt to ashes in this fire." First, thank God. He has allowed this in our lives for good. Any loss has a good in it, so we start our work from the beginning. Above all, ours wrong doings too. The sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ is great in the world.

 

There is no redemption without the cross!

There is no Canaan without the Red Sea!

No achievement without trails!

There is no victory without pain!

 

- Bro. Samuel Morris
