GRACE

The grace of God passes all understanding and will uphold you throughout life.

I’ve been reading a lot about the heroes of the Bible. They were all tested in their faith. I think we have all been tested in our faith at some time in our lives. It depends on how we handle the problems of life that Satan throws at us.

We suffer loss of health. We suffer loss of loved ones. We suffer through divorce. We suffer through relationships. All the while God is watching how we handle the problems of life.

Joy comes in the morning. James said, “Consider it all joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials.” (James 1:2 HCSB)

Because trails or difficulties of life can strengthen our faith in God who knows all things, sees all things and understands all things, we can find joy in them.

All the trials in life are tough to go through. When you have faithful friends and family to help, we can suffer with faith and hope. We have hope in a well-known God who understands fully trials of life.

After all, it was Christ at Gethsemane that sweat drops of blood so that if the cup could be removed, it would have been. He pleaded with God, “If there could be any other way to save these people, please make a way.”

We all want our trials to be small ones. Sometimes they seem more than we can bear.

Please don’t be bitter or turn away from God in your trials. The devil would have you then. You are in trials because you are a child of God. Satan would love for you to change and leave God behind.

My prayer is for you to see your trials to the end and keep God in your heart. He will let you know then that you are His child and He loves you very much. Please have a peace, sometimes called joy, about you so others will understand you are a child of God.
