THE WISDOM OF THE CROSS

When I suffered, it was good for me. It helped me to learn your commands.

Psalms 119:71 EASY

Beloved, none of our sufferings are in vain, the Lord has already paid for our sufferings, so they are not meant to destroy us but to build us. The Bible says

"we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.(Romans 5:3‭-‬4 NIV)

Remember we are co-crucified with Christ and share in His sufferings and glory. The Psalmist says, "You number and record my wanderings; put my tears into Your bottle–are they not in Your book? Then shall my enemies turn back in the day that I cry out; this I know, for God is for me." (Psalm 56:8‭-‬9 AMPC)

This verse is really mind blowing! All the sufferings of Christ are recorded in His book for our glory, so no enemy can stand against us. For we were healed by His wounds, the chastisements He received made whole our lacks, be it in godliness, finances, marriages, health and wellbeing, length of days, so we are complete in Him. (Isaiah 53:5)

WE PRAY FOR THE GRACE TO BE COURAGEOUS IN SUFFERINGS IN JESUS NAME AMEN!

THANK YOU JESUS!
