Quiet Time: Salvation - Prayer

As we gather in quiet reflection today, let us turn our hearts to Hebrews 11:1, which tells us, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” This verse invites us into a profound understanding of salvation—a gift not merely to be understood but to be experienced in the depths of our being.

Think of a seed buried in the dark soil. At first, it seems lifeless, hidden from our eyes, but in that darkness, a miracle is stirring. It is the unseen roots drinking in the nourishment, preparing for a moment of emergence. Just as that seed does not doubt its purpose, we too must hold onto the promise that our faith, though unseen, is deeply rooted in God's grace.

In our quiet moments of prayer, we are like that seed. We may feel the weight of our struggles, the uncertainty of our journey. Yet, when we come before God, we are met with overwhelming grace, a favor that assures us of our worth and purpose. Through prayer, we cultivate a garden of devotion, where our spiritual growth flourishes.

As we serve one another in love, we reflect the very heart of this grace. Each act of kindness is a bloom in God's creation, a testament to our faith that draws us closer together as a community. Let this week be marked by moments of quiet time, where we seek to listen for His voice, to be rooted deeply in hope, and to rejoice in the favor that salvation brings. In our devotion, let us trust that the unseen is very much alive, nurturing both our souls and our shared mission.
