Triumph Through Trials
Trials in life are certainly not desirable! They are not comfortable, they may cause us pain and inconvenience, but when they are brought by God into our lives there is most definitely something He wants us to learn from them!

…We must never put our trust in the strength or abilities of people/things. Like David, all believers must “remember the name of the Lord our God” and put our trust in Him.
How do we see Jesus? Is Jesus our Saviour onto eternal life in fellowship with God? Or, Is Jesus a tool to fix problems in this life? When faced with life’s problems what do we want from Jesus? Do we want exercise our faith or ease our flesh? Do we want His “strength to be made perfect” in our “weakness”?
What will we do to help those in need? If the society is in decay, what will you do to stop it? The world grows darker only when our (believers) lights grow dimmer.
Righteousness is not proven by what you don’t do; it is not proven by what laws you don’t break. Righteousness IS proven by what you DO!!!
We don’t always have to know where the road leads as long as we know it is the right road. While we are “in the way” our Lord has commissioned us to go we must have the faith to take that first step and then, one step at a time, expect our Lord to show us His will about the next step.
I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards… I am thanking You now.
I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better… I am thanking You now.
I am not going to wait until the pain in my body disappears… I am thanking You now.
I am not going to wait until my financial situation improves… I am thanking You now.
Our weakness and fears will not stop God from calling us to serve Him. Our weaknesses don’t matter, because God is sending us out in His unfailing strength. And, our fears are of no concern, because He has given us all we need to triumph over the adversities we will face. The only thing that does matter is our OBEDIENCE! How will we respond to God’s call?
Lord strengthen me so I will not disappoint You… again
Our afflictions are designed not to break us, but to bend us toward God.
