Devotional
Just as a seed must be planted and die before new life can spring forth, our spiritual journey often follows this same pattern. We must die to our old ways of thinking and living to experience the new life Christ offers. This principle of death leading to life runs throughout God’s creation and reaches its ultimate expression in Jesus’ resurrection. When we embrace this truth, we begin to see our challenges differently – not as endings, but as potential beginnings. Every difficulty becomes an opportunity for God to bring forth new life.
Bible Verse
“But someone will ask, ‘How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?’ You foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.” – 1 Corinthians 15:36
Reflection Question
What areas of your life might God be asking you to surrender (let ‘die’) so He can bring forth something new and better?
Quote
“We will be planted perishable, but we will rise up imperishable.”
Prayer
Father, give me the courage to let go of what needs to die in my life, trusting that You will bring forth something beautiful. Help me embrace the process of transformation. Amen.
