The Quiet Moments That Shape Everything

Sunday Rewind is a 5-day Devotional based on the weekly sermon at Resonate Community Church

February 22nd Sermon, Day 1

Life's most transformative moments often arrive without fanfare. Onesimus, a runaway slave, encountered Paul in prison - not exactly a setting you'd expect for a life-changing encounter. Yet in that quiet moment, everything shifted. His heart was transformed through faith in Jesus Christ.

Sometimes we're looking for God to show up in the spectacular, but He often works in the ordinary, unexpected places. That difficult conversation, the chance meeting, the book that falls into your hands - these seemingly small moments can redirect our entire lives.

God doesn't need a stage or spotlight to work miracles. He specializes in using the broken, the hidden, and the forgotten to display His power. Today, pay attention to the quiet moments. God might be preparing something extraordinary in what feels completely ordinary.

Bible Verse

'Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do, yet I prefer to appeal to you on the basis of love.' - Philemon 1:8-9

Reflection Question

What 'quiet moment' in your life has God used to bring about significant change, and how might He be working in your current ordinary circumstances?

Quote Some of the biggest moments in our lives, they don't come with fireworks or loud, big announcements. No, they come quietly.

Prayer

Lord, help me recognize Your presence in the quiet, ordinary moments of my life. Open my eyes to see how You're working even when I can't see the bigger picture.
