Freely Speaking Audio Devotion
Welcome to Freely Speaking, an OHSOFREE devotional ministry where we share our hearts and trust God for transformation.
Today, Andi Benson reminds us that Christ is sufficient for every need and every season.
“To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27 NIV).
Life is unpredictable, often heavy with uncertainty, fear, and disappointment. We put our hope in many things—relationships, careers, financial stability, even our self-image. Yet, these anchors often drag us into the struggles of life. They are temporary solutions to eternal problems, leaving us searching for hope that is stable and true.
The Apostle Paul points us toward an astonishing mystery revealed by God: the source of true, enduring hope isn't a thing, but a person. It is "Christ in you, the hope of glory."
This hope isn't a wishful thought or a fingers-crossed optimism. It’s a confident, certain expectation rooted in the living presence of Jesus Christ residing within the heart of every believer. When we invite Jesus in, we are connected to the ultimate source of life, peace, and purpose.
Throughout my life, my faith in Christ has been my strength during challenges like illness, surgeries, divorce, heartache, and loss. Trusting in God's goodness helped me persevere and gave me an eternal perspective, reminding me that struggles are temporary.
Because of this reality, we can face each day with courage and hope, knowing that we are never alone and that God is working within us, shaping our hearts and guiding our steps. Even in moments of weakness or uncertainty, His presence is a constant reminder that our story does not end with pain or loss, but with redemption and restoration. As we trust Him, we find the assurance that what lies ahead is held securely in His hands, and that His love will carry us through every season, both now and forever.
Christ in you is sufficient for all things. He is your hope—your certain hope—today, tomorrow, and for eternity. Turn to Him today. Ask God to change your perspective to an eternal one and see the goodness God has in all situations.
