Verse of the Week:
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose."
— Romans 8:28 |

The Lodgepole Pine trees covering large parts of Yellowstone National Park offer a powerful lesson in adversity.
The cones of the pine hang on the tree for years without falling to the ground and releasing their seed. In fact, even when the cone does fall, it often remains tightly closed.
So how have these reluctant trees grown to blanket the park with forests?
They’ve grown through adversity. When a forest fire rages, destroying all the trees in its path, the intense heat actually causes the Lodgepole Pine cones to burst open and finally release their seed. So out of devastation, these unique pines are often the first trees to produce new growth.
God never promises that we’ll escape adversity in life. But He does promise that He will hold you in the midst of every storm – and that through your struggle He will bring about something beautiful for His glory and your greatest good.
So whether you’re facing the dark clouds of tragedy or the struggles of everyday life, trust today that God loves you, He’s with you, and He can cultivate new life through your adversity. |

Prayer Challenge
Ask God to help you trust in His plan for your life. Pray that you will stand strong through adversity, with your eyes on Christ.
Questions for Thought
Can you think of some lessons God’s taught you in the past through adversity?
What are some struggles you’re facing today that you can entrust to God?
TRIVIA FOR THE DAY:
August 9, 1944 – First Smokey Bear poster debuts. Because of this, August 9 is used as Smokey’s birthday. The poster used the slogan, “Care will prevent 9 out of 10 forest fires!” In 1950, a bear cub was rescued from a New Mexico wild fire and became the live embodiment of the cartoon Smokey Bear. The slogan eventually became, “Only You Can Prevent Wildfires.”

My four- year old, Henry, son came screaming out of the bathroom to tell me he’d dropped his toothbrush in the toilet. So I fished it out and threw it in the trash. Henry stood there a minute, then ran to my bathroom and came back with my toothbrush. He held it up and said with a charming little smile, “We better throw this one out too, then because it fell in the toilet a few days ago!”
A little girl had just finished her first week of school. “I’m just wasting my time,” she said to her mother. “I can’t read, I can’t write and they won’t let me talk!”
