Welcome October
Good Morning/Evening!
“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment.” Romans 5:3-5
Paul’s seemingly impossible statement that we can glory in our sufferings hinges on the promise that they are not meaningless. They accomplish purposes and deliver benefits we never imagined in the middle of them. Sometimes God will ask us to release the things we want the most. That’s a test. If we pass the test, at some point, He will either give back what we wanted or He will bring something better into our lives. Remember, God allows us to experience low points in our life to teach us lessons that we wouldn’t learn otherwise. God is not just watching us in the fire, He is in it with us!!
