A
reminder for today
Dear
brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity
for great joy. (James1:2)
Don’t you just love this verse? It is so awesome. James
says when trouble comes your way you must be happy. Have you ever felt like
that? When you are facing massive amounts of obstacles and your work load is
about to drive you insane, are you happy and laughing? I must say I fail miserably
when it comes to being happy about trouble, but let’s look at the rest of what
James says:
For
you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to
grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will
be perfect and complete, needing nothing. (Verse 3-4)
Trouble tests our faith and when we succeed our faith
grows and grows, because we keep our trust in Jesus knowing it will all be well
in the end. This is what I love so much about this scripture. You see instead
of breaking down we must stand up and take these troubles with faith so that we
can grow. Wow I am in awe of how God works.
So today, my dear friend, we are going to laugh in the
face of danger and trust God with all our hearts. We will take our challenges
with joy and defeat the enemy with a smile.
I pray that you will stand in your storms firmly grounded
on Jesus and that you will face your troubles with joy as we trust Jesus
completely. In Jesus name.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
