FINDING TRUE JOY AND STRENGTH IN OUR TRIALS

James 1:2-4 New King James Version
2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces [a]patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be [b]perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA GANG!!!

Something about this morning's passage of scripture I really needed, because over the last couple of months I feel like I have been going through some trials. Many of you know the things that have been going on not just in my life but my family's life, but what I haven't been able to share is how good God has been through the trials. I think that's why these questions from this morning’s devotional are really encouraging to me today, and I’d like to share them with you tonight. Please read these questions carefully and allow God to speak to you through them.

How have trials and challenges actually helped you trust God more?

What I'd like to do right now, my friends, is share some things that God showed me from this morning's passage of scripture, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I share with you will encourage you to see that God is there for you in those trials. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn how to find that true joy and strength within the trials! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I'd like to leave you with this final question from this morning’s devotional, and I pray that it will encourage you to know that God is always there for you, and that you will cling to the promises He offers you.

How could you commit yourself to His care in what you currently face?

I pray that with whatever you’re experiencing, that you purposely choose to seek God’s help, courage, and wisdom to face each and every day in His strength. Ask God every day, to help you remember, that suffering does produce perseverance; perseverance produces character; and character, hope. Remember, that as a redeemed child of God, you have joy unspeakable and full of glory, and that God will use that to provide what you need to persevere in this life. After all, being conformed to the image of Christ doesn't happen when everything is unicorns, sunshine, and rainbows. Remember all the moments where God has been there for you before, cling to those memories, as well as the precious truths from God's word that promise that He will be there for you and will never leave you or forsake you. Choose to hope in God and allow His hope and joy to fill your heart every day!

SO, UNTIL FRIDAY MY FRIENDS:

HAVE A SWEET, PEACEFUL, AND BLESSED EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
