🌿 Devotional Reflection: Grace Over Chance
Sometimes life gives us glimpses of goodness we didn’t plan for—a perfect opportunity, a sudden healing, an unexpected kindness. And we call it luck.
But for the believer, it’s deeper.
It’s the gentle hand of God working behind the curtain, placing favor where fatigue almost won. It’s the fruit of staying faithful when quitting felt easier.
Perseverance isn’t flashy. It’s quiet. But heaven honors those who don’t give up.
Even “chance” moments may be divine intersections—times when God’s timing aligns with your endurance. The harvest is coming. Stay in the soil.
