TODAY’S TURNING POINT WITH DR. DAVID JEREMIAH 9 SEPTEMBER 2025 DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE
Read David Jeremiah Daily Devotional – 9th September 2025, Tuesday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: From Bad to Worse
My problems go from bad to worse. Oh, save me from them all!
Psalm 25:17, NLT
RECOMMENDED READING
Psalm 25:16-22
If you feel your problems are going from bad to worse, you have lots of company in the Bible. Joseph went from keeping his father’s sheep, to a cistern, to slavery, and on to an Egyptian prison (Genesis 37-39). In the book of Ruth, Naomi’s situation deteriorated until she called herself Mara, meaning “bitter” (Ruth 1:20).
We all know how Job’s problems multiplied (Job 1-2). And the apostle Paul’s third missionary journey led to him being arrested in Jerusalem, stalled for two years in Caesarea, placed aboard a ship headed into a hurricane, shipwrecked, and bitten by a viper (Acts 26-28).
Trials and suffering are the common lot of all humanity, and sometimes things seem to go from bad to worse in our lives. But don’t give up! Look again at all the examples above. Joseph ended up as prime minister of Egypt, Naomi became a beloved grandmother, Job received twice what he had lost, and Paul’s troubles led to the writing of Ephesians, Colossians, Philippians, and Philemon- the Prison Epistles.
Commit your troubles to the Lord. Trust Him. He will save you from them all.

We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. – Charles Swindoll
