Let’s just face it - It’s hard to do this. To deal with hard times, trials, heartache, loss... and all with a joyful heart. It’s not natural or human to do that - it’s supernatural! And the verse says that we have this joy because we know that our faith is being tested and made stronger.
That knowledge, that our faith will be strong enough to handle whatever gets thrown at us, whatever mountain we will need to climb, this is no small thing! It is the kind of faith that makes a difference! If you’re having trouble finding this joy - just ask God for it, and the faith you need to persevere. #justdoit #perseverence #joyinthetrials #strongenough #faith #joy #shalom #onespiritonechurch #dailydevotional
