When Troubles Of Any Kind
Come Your Way,
Consider It An Opportunity For Great Joy.
Scripture
2 Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. 3 For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. 4 So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.
Observation
“Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way. James 1:2-4 MESSAGE
You and I usually aren’t able to see troubles, when they come, as opportunities but the Bible says that is just what they are!
So lets think about that today!
Application
I
will do my best to remember that troubles are opportunities for “great joy”.
How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I know that some of the people that may be reading this blog this
morning are dealing with major issues. Many of them are overwhelmed with what
is facing them. I pray for them right now. Help them to see Your hand right in
the middle of all the trouble. Use this to help them grow. Help me deal with
trials and troubles in a way that brings You glory and honor. Help me to see
them as a gift sent to help me and not to hurt me.
