“In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials,” (1 Peter 1:6)

It has been said that the  Apostle Paul (with the Holy Spirit) wrote 13 of 27 books that make up the New Testament. In His writings, I’m sure that you have noticed that the Apostle Paul gets into a lot of tight spots. What do we then see him doing? Many times we see him recalling the incredible things God has done in his life in the midst of trials. Do you enjoy tests? Not many people do, but tests serve some valuable purposes. They reveal strengths and they reveal weaknesses. They demonstrate what we know, what we do not know, and they teach us how to apply knowledge. Testing highlights God’s faithfulness in our lives and in the lives of others. We can then patiently endure the test knowing that no matter the outcome, God is in control. When you are going through a test, remember all the things that God has done for you and then praise Him.

(Philippians 4:8) “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy — meditate on these things”

“Remember all that the Lord has done for you when going through trials and difficulties, Rejoice in those Test!”

Put a smile on your face this morning and get your grove on! It will really mess-up the enemy’s plan!

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your strength and comfort during times of testing. Please help me to praise You even in extremely difficult situations. Today I am gonna express great joy because You love me! Please help me to be an encourager today to the others who are are going through a test. I pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
