1-minute devotion for Friday, 10/17/25
Today, I am writing specifically to persecuted Christians around the world. My prayer is that these precious Words from God will encourage you and strengthen you through the power of the Holy Spirit.
“Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.” James 1:12 Read full chapter
“To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings. Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” James 1:1-4
I noticed that James’ letter is addressed to “the twelve tribes scattered among the nations.” They were scattered throughout the Roman world because of persecution. Some of you know that kind of persecution today. There are many Christians around the world who are praying earnestly for you.
” … we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. Hebrews 6:18-19
May God bless you and keep you. May He strengthen you and give you hope as you trust in Him.
In His Love, Cindy
