Where There's Smoke There's Fire

DAY 9 OF 28

Amid life's trials, remember this: there's always another presence beside you, like an unseen friend in the fire. Even when things seem dire, God's presence rescues you. It might feel like the last moment, but He's never late.

With God by your side, difficulties become opportunities to grow stronger. What might weaken others becomes a chance for you to stand firm. It's like His presence is a shield, turning what seems harmful into a source of strength.

Sometimes, the path God's Spirit leads you on might seem uncertain, even unsafe. But it's in these moments that His guidance is most profound. Like a guiding light, His presence navigates you through challenging terrain, leading you to higher ground.

When you're tested, when you're in the midst of your own fiery trial, remember that your faith can inspire others. Through your journey, others can come to glorify God, witnessing the power of His presence in your life.

Above all, never trade the presence of God for the allure of self-worship or material things. It's like choosing gold over a priceless treasure. And even when you can't feel His presence, trust that saying "even if" shows tremendous faith. It's believing that He's there, even when you can't see it, knowing He'll guide you through the flames.

About this Plan

Where There's Smoke There's Fire

The age-old adage of “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” rings true with God’s presence: if it’s visible, the signs are present. In this 28-day reading plan, we see how God’s presence is symbolized by fire and the “smoke” that should show in our lives because of it. Note: This plan is based on the sermon series from the good people at Youth Pastor Co.
