DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY
John Stevens was a faithful preacher in the 20th Century England. He decided to join the British Army and serve his country, during World War 1 in 1914. John’s faith was put to the ultimate test as he endured the horrors of war, witnessing unspeakable suffering and loss. Despite the chaos surrounding him, he clung to his faith, finding solace in prayer and Scripture. He was captured and imprisoned in a German Prisoner of War (POW) camp. John spent hours in prayer, pouring out his heart and seeking God’s guidance. He also shared the message of hope with his fellow prisoners, leading Bible studies and offering words of encouragement. Then, in 1918, the war finally ended, and John vas liberated from captivity. He was reunited with his family and congregation. Though he bore the physical scars of his ordeal, his spirit remained unbroken. John must have been greatly influenced by the message in our passage today. Daily Manna for Today 21th May 2025
Today, we are served with a message of hope and comfort to believers who are facing the challenges of life, hardships, and suffering across the world. The passage compares the trial of faith to the refining of gold through fire, emphasizing the preciousness of faith that endures trials. The purification and strengthening of our faith through challenges will ultimately lead to praise, honour, and glory at the return of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
As we confront the challenges of our present world, we must continue to draw inspiration from the Scripture and understand that our faith in the Lord will be tried and tested. Happily, we have the assurance of triumphing in all these trials and vicissitudes of life as our confidence is rooted in real salvation and the power of unfailing Scripture.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The hottest furnace cannot alarm a true Christian as long as Christ is there with him.
