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.

MFM Devotional For Today 2025 MESSAGE:
This is a strange topic! Strange because many people, even Christians, do not often see the positive side of pain. Of a truth, it takes a spiritually discerning mind to get to this point. Pain is often seen as negative and assumed to be nothing but discomfort, emotional stress, sorrow and so on. Interestingly, pain comes alongside with the package of miracles and testimonies, oftentimes unseen. As humans, if only we can be patient with God, the beautiful side of pain would be manifested, and we would bless God.

Imagine the pain of childbirth in women; the joy at the expectation of a newly born baby and an addition to the family is enough to make a woman endure the pain. If it were not for this kind of joyful expectation, no woman would desire the pain, how much more endure it while it lasted. Surprisingly, in another few years, she would have forgotten the painful experience and would be ready to have another baby. This pain will come up again and the cycle continues. This is one of the beautiful sides of pain! This can only happen and be managed by the power of God. This is a mystery! The same thing happens when your pain is physical, mental, emotional or even spiritual. God is able to turn it to gain and make it beautiful at the end. And as you endure the pain under the management of the Holy Spirit, the beauty of it emerges.
What pain are you going through right now? Is it losses, abandonment, betrayal, physical, mental or emotional challenge? You can make gains out of it and at the end, your life becomes more beautiful than ever before. Pain helps to transform us and bring us to the reality of how weak and fragile we are. It takes courage to grow through pain. Today, God will help you if you would allow Him.
