Welcome back to the "Wrong To Strong" 2-Minute Devotionals. Thank you for joining us this week as our brother Greg Wood highlights Romans 8:28, which emphasizes that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him. Greg uses the analogy of Kool-Aid, explaining that just as the drink's components (Kool-Aid mix, sugar, and water) taste better together than separately, God combines the good, the bad, and His presence in our lives to work for our benefit. He concludes by encouraging us to embrace a life with Jesus for positive outcomes.

"Feeling lost? Remember, God has a plan for each of us. 🌟 When I was at my lowest, a dream reminded me of His presence. He holds us, guides us, and brings hope. Trust in His purpose for you. 🙏✨

Welcome to Week #5 of the Wrong 2 Strong "2-Minute Devotionals." Cisco Terrazas recounts a vivid dream from a time before he found Christ, inspired by Isaiah 41:13. In his dream, he was lost in a run-down urban area but saw a bright, paradisiacal place across a wrought iron fence. An unidentified person in a white robe reached out to him, providing comfort and safety amidst his depression. This experience, later reinforced by scripture, helped Cisco realize God's plans for everyone, especially the lost. He urges listeners to understand that God is always watching and has a purpose for each person, offering hope and guidance even when they feel lost.

"Some sat in darkness, in utter darkness, prisoners suffering in iron chains, because they rebelled against God’s commands and despised the plans of the Most High. So he subjected them to bitter labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help. Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness, and broke away their chains. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind, for he breaks down gates of bronze and cuts through bars of iron."
Psalms 107:10-16 NIV
