“After This”
JJ Hairston & Youthful Praise
Focus:
Trusting that God brings victory, turnaround, and glory after every trial
Scripture References (NIV):
• 1 Peter 5:10 — “And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.”
• Jeremiah 32:27 — “I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me”
Devotion:
“After This” reminds us that no matter what we walk through, God has already planned glory on the other side. Trials do not end in defeat for the believer. Challenges do not conclude with loss. God brings victory after it. He turns situations around, lifts burdens, restores strength, and brings us out with greater faith and deeper testimony.
God moves in every situation. He heals what is broken. He provides where there is lack. He delivers from what tries to hold us captive. He specializes in the impossible, and nothing we face is beyond His reach or His power. What feels overwhelming to us is an opportunity for God to reveal His greatness.
There are seasons when we wonder why we must endure certain battles, but God never allows us to go through without purpose. He uses the process to strengthen us, refine us, and position us for what is coming next. The trial is temporary, but the glory that follows is lasting. The pain is real, but the victory is guaranteed.
Today, hold on to the truth that God is working behind the scenes. Expect Him to turn it around. Expect Him to bring you out. Expect Him to show Himself strong. Your story does not end here. There is glory after this.
Reflection:
1. What situation in your life do you need to trust God to turn around
2. How does remembering that God specializes in the impossible strengthen your faith today
Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the promise that there is glory after every trial. Thank You for turning situations around, healing, providing, and delivering. Strengthen my faith to trust You through the process and to expect victory on the other side. I believe that You specialize in the impossible, and I place every situation in Your hands. Amen.
