It is easy to preach the messages of faith after you’ve gone through the season of trials and passed the test. However, when you are right in the middle of the storm sometimes you even forget what James 1: 2-4 teaches us.
“2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” James 1:2-4 NKJV
I pray for strength, patience, and grace for everyone going through challenges in life. I pray that your faith carries you through until the breakthrough is attained. I pray that your convictions keep you strong and grounded in Christ like Mordecai in the book of Esther knowing that there’s great blessing in enduring trials and temptations.
“15 So Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, with a great crown of gold and a garment of fine linen and purple; and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad. 16 The Jews had light and gladness, joy and honor. 17 And in every province and city, wherever the king’s command and decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a holiday. Then many of the people of the land became Jews, because fear of the Jews fell upon them.” Esther 8:15-17 NKJV
#”Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.” James 1:2 NKJV
#”Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 NKJV
#”Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 NKJV
Bless the Lord Almighty
