"We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation"
(Romans 5:3-4)
(Romans 5:3-4)
Consider it wholly joyful, my brethren, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations.Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience.But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be [people] perfectly and fully developed with no defects, lacking in nothing. (James 1:2-4)... IT'S GREAT, isn't it?
I've just informed that the way I handle my adversities has a huge impact on my success in life. If I shrink back, choose to get bitter, and lose my enthusiasm, then I am allowing the difficulties of life to bury me it means I am allowing hardship to keep me from My God-given destiny. But if I choose to keep pressing forward with a smile on my face, rejoicing even in the hard times like now I've been passing, it means I am allowing God’s character to be developed inside of me. That's Jesus purpose to be revealed in my life oh yes..and I remember a God's servant who said I have to be changed like Jesus. The blesses is God's business.
I've also renewed that the only difference between a piece of black coal and a priceless diamond is the amount of pressure that it’s endured? My uncle ever said to me that the pricefull gold must be honed till its shining. Oh thank you God...
When you stand strong in the midst of the trials and difficulties in life, when you allow God to shape and mold your character, it’s like going from a piece of coal to a priceless diamond. Those difficulties are going to give way to new growth, new potential, new talent, new friendships, new opportunities, new vision. You’re going to see God develop your life in ways that you’ve never even dreamed! Amen....and I believe I can..I believe You can...I believe we can..... to be more than a CONQUEROR...
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father in heaven, thank You for giving me strength to overcome every obstacle in life. I choose to rejoice no matter what may come against me because I know You are working all things together for my good. Thank You for developing Your character in me. Give me more strength to pass these comin' challenges in order to shape me to be like you...so I will be a light to shine everything around me In Jesus’ Name. Amen. Be blessed.....
