We Can Rejoice, Too,
When We Run Into Problems And Trials,
For We Know That They Help Us Develop Endurance.


Scripture

Romans 5

1 Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.

² Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.

³ We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.
 
⁴ And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.
 
⁵ And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.

Observation

Trouble – Trouble – Trouble!

Maybe you have been running into problems and trials lately. Maybe you are overwhelmed at the moment because of all that you are facing or with all that is going on in this crazy world!

Read Romans 5:1-5 and let it sink in. The One who created this Universe and everything in it will one day let me share in His glory because of what Jesus Christ has done for me.

Because of my faith, Christ has brought me into this place of undeserved privilege. And He did that very same thing for you too!

Rejoice; all of these problems are part of the process of making us more and more like Jesus!

 Application

I will rejoice today with the troubles that I have because of my undeserved privilege of having a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ and what He did for me. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, give me the right perspective about life. Help me to see things from Your perspective. Help me to walk by faith and not by sight. I know that you are teaching me more and more everyday through the trials and troubles that come into my life. I know that You care about every detail of my life and I know that You are on my side.

Bless anyone that reads this blog this morning or today. Give them the strength and faith to endure everything coming at them today. And help them to grow closer to You.
