ALWAYS WITHIN HIS REACH

Have you ever felt like you've gone too far for God to reach you? Maybe you've made choices that led you down a path you never intended to take, or circumstances beyond your control have left you feeling isolated, broken, and far from the life you once knew. Perhaps the weight of guilt and shame has convinced you that you're beyond redemption, that God’s grace has run out for you.

The Bible is full of examples that emphasize God’s boundless capacity to restore, redeem, and resurrect. There is no situation too hard for God to turn around, no depth too deep for Him to reach, and no mistake too great for Him to forgive. His desire to restore and resurrect is always connected to His divine purpose for our lives. When God reaches down to lift us, it’s not just to bring us back to where we were, but to propel us forward into His purpose for our lives. He uses even our lowest moments as a foundation for His greater plan.

Even amid our falls, God is at work, shaping us, refining us, and making us stronger. The trials and tribulations we face, whether from our own mistakes or external circumstances, are opportunities for our faith to be tested and strengthened.

As you reflect on the truths shared in this devotional, remember that no matter where you find yourself today, you are never beyond God’s reach. Whether you've wandered far from His path or are facing insurmountable trials (of no fault of your own), His love and grace are ever-present, ready to retrieve and restore you. You are always within His reach!
