REJOICE IN SUFFERINGS

Not only that, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;

Romans 5:3 BSB

We are in a troubled world. The Lord said, “ I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!”(John 16:33 BSB) When we face trials, we should not worry, lament over them or even go from one church to another for breakthrough. Instead, consider it an opportunity to build perseverance while waiting on the Lord.

We don't persevere as victims, rather as victors, for Christ has overcome them for us. WE are only waiting in joyful hope for our results. Isaiah 40:31 BSB says, “But those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint.” The Hebrew word for “wait” is qavah, meaning to bind together. That is to align our thoughts with His thoughts.

For instance, Psalm 119:91 GNT says, “All things remain to this day because of your command, because they are all your servants.” So, while waiting, you keep renewing your mind that everything serves you as the Scripture Says. . If the enemy knows that you know that the trial is serving you, building perseverance in you, he will flee from you, for he does not want to serve you. He is too prideful, he wants you to go about lamenting about your problems, thereby indirectly serving him.

WE PRAY FOR THE GRACE TO REJOICE IN OUR SUFFERINGS IN JESUS NAME AMEN!

THANK YOU JESUS!
