It’s a beautiful day to be a neighbor.
Today’s Family Wins devotional reflects on 1 Thessalonians 3:3 — “No one would be unsettled by these trials, for you know quite well that we are destined for them.”
There’s an Arab proverb F.B. Meyer loved to quote: all sunshine makes the desert. Mining for gold means long hours in uncomfortable surroundings — but once the strike is made, the toil seems a small price to pay. It’s no different in the spiritual life. Certain graces — meekness, gentleness, kindness, humility — simply cannot come to perfection if the sun of prosperity always shines. The sweetest scents are only obtained by pressure. The rarest gems have suffered longest from the cutter’s wheel. And all of it, every bit, is under God’s supervision — nothing happens that hasn’t been appointed with consummate care and foresight.
After you listen, go back and read 1 Thessalonians 2:17 through 3:13 for yourself — open your devotional to page 688, pull up the app, or grab your free copy at mindwolves.com/tfw. Let God speak to you directly, in your own time, in your own home.
A godly husband isn’t made in a day. Neither is a godly wife, a godly father, or a godly mother. They’re made in moments like this — one verse, one choice, one day at a time.
