Good Morning Sunshine! It’s The Joy Of The Lord For Me, What About You?

James 1:2-4 AMP ~ “Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials. [3] Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace]. [4] And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing.”

Are you joyful today? The things that you go through, the trials that you face, and how you handle them, reveal what you truly believe about God and His Power working in your life. These tests are important to your spiritual growth, they are indicators of your development.

Count it all joy “when” you face trials, not “if,” you will face some trials, as a matter of face many different kind of trials during your lifetime, but embrace them, because they will lead you into the mature Christians that God created you to be. You do not have to search for trials, but embrace them, knowing that they will lead you to endurance, which leads you to maturity! (All I can say is, “Thank You God, You brought us through this and brought us through that! “Thank You God,” You bought us through it!)

Remember that you serve a God who is the same, yesterday, today, tomorrow and for evermore. When you face trials, James says, count it all joy! Are you counting your joy moments? Just take a minute and look back over your life and you should see all the times that God brought, kept and sustained you during your trials!!!

Let’s Pray:
Heavenly Father, Thank You for the gift of Salvation and the peace you make available to your children though Your son, Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit. Father, I pray for each person reading this devotion and praying this prayer, that they receive You and Your gifts and trust You in everything they go through. May you experience the peace and joy that surpasses all your understanding, even in your our hardest and darkest of days, knowing that God got you. In Jesus Christ Name. Amen!

Blessings…
Minister Jean
