BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezra 8:21-9:15, 1 Corinthians 5:1-13, Psalm 31:1-8, Proverbs 21:1-2
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Job 23:8-14 (KJV)
8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
14 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
MEMORY VERSE: “But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” – Job 23:10 (KJV)

MFM Devotional For Today 2025 MESSAGE:
Hannah went through the pain of barrenness. She cried to God and she eventually became a mother of many children. She sang and blessed the Lord in 1 Samuel chapter 2. Job experienced multiple losses, suffered illnesses, yet he clung to His Redeemer, our Redeemer! At the end, he got double of all he had lost, became a benefactor and prophet to his friends who humiliated him. Today’s memory verse is one of the declarations of Job. It reminds us that life after the pain would be brighter and better than gold. In essence, at the time of trouble or pain, our faith is not only tried and tested, but also refined.

Joseph was another man who suffered as a result of envy and jealousy from his siblings; he got into slavery, was wrongly accused and imprisoned. For seventeen years, he went through the furnace of affliction but eventually became a Prime Minister.
Saul of Tarsus was a persecutor of God’s people and a blasphemer of His word. He encountered Christ, became Paul and suffered so much persecutions and troubles. He became a transformed man through his experiences and encouraged us through his words in 2 Corinthians 4:17-18, “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
I counsel you also to look beyond the physical and focus on God, Who is working in you by the power of the Holy Spirit, to bring out the beauty in your pain. Do not forget that to have this awesome experience, you must become a true child of God. Surrender your life to Jesus Christ, confess your sins, repent and forsake them. Depart from self-sufficiency and decide to rely on God all the way. Pray for divine intervention and God will turn your pain to gain and make the end more beautiful than you can ever imagine.
