Going “Through” Trials Builds Godly Character

Below is an excellent 1-minute video by Joyce Meyer.  I love how God  – through Joyce’s short message – tells us to go through.

It takes a lot of courage to live with potentially overwhelming circumstances like chronic hemiplegic migraines, CPTSD, and all the other challenges I have and still face. The fear that kicks up my flesh and makes me want to give up has been right on my heels much of the time. I’m sure it’s the reason God gave me a very convincing vision many years ago that told me I have to believe Romans 8:28. Doing so was going to make me believe, trust and rest in Him. What a gift that vision was and is.

But God.

God has been with me all the way (and with you, too) encouraging me to know His Word and to apply it to my life every day. He promises to do the same for anyone. Only be thou strong and courageous no matter how weak you may feel. At all times, strong or weak, Jesus is our strength. We can simply choose to trust and rest in Him and to praise and thank Him in all things. What an encouragement those words are.

I will fear no evil for Thou art with me. (Taken from Psalm 23)

Onward Christian soldiers…Amen? Amen!

Thanking and praising God in all things,

Mark

Note: While we may not agree with everything a particular church or Christian group teaches or believes, there are times when we can be blessed by something outside the realm of our current understanding of God.
