TAKING JOY IN THE TRIALS

James 1:2-4 King James Version
2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA EVERYONE!!!
Something about this morning's devotional, really challenged my heart, because I feel like I've faced trials every day and sometimes they’re very overwhelming. So much so that I feel drained of my joy. That Satan wants to take whatever happiness God has given me and just ruin it. But, when I read this passage of scripture, I see what the apostle James is saying to his readers, and God touches my heart through it. I think that's why I not only really enjoyed this morning scripture, but I was also challenged and encouraged by the questions from this morning's devotional, and I'd like to share them with you tonight. Please check these questions out, and allow God to speak to you through them.

What trials are you facing these days?

Right now my friends, I'd like to share some thoughts that God gave me from His Word this morning through this vlog I'd like to share with you tonight, and I pray that it encourages you in the trials and struggles that you're facing. I invite you all to join me in this vlog, and learn through the example of Jesus Christ not only about perseverance, but allow His example to help you and be your guide when trials come your way. Come join me in this vlog, and learn how to take joy in the trials that you face! 😊

So my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with this final question from this morning's devotional, and I pray that God will use it to challenge and motivate you too.

How can God help you live wholeheartedly for him?

I pray that you will remember the very words, that Job himself stated in Job 23:10, when he said, “But He knoweth the way that I take, and when he has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” (Job 23:10). Know that whatever you go through, no matter how painful, heart wrenching, frightening, or overwhelming it is, that God is there with you in the valleys, and will see you through it! Know that you can find joy, and the peace that passes all understanding even in the midst of the testing and trials that God puts in your way, because through these things, God is bringing out all the impurities in you, to produce a pure, beautiful, and awesome vessel for Him! Just remember that you can and must always have hope in God, because He will never let you down, and you can depend on him always. I know sometimes to testing hurts, but trust me when I tell you, it will produce something beautiful!

UNTIL TUESDAY:

HAVE A VERY RESTFUL EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
