Consider Job and all He suffered. If we compared any of our trials to his, are we even close? Then think of our Lord, The Christ, Jesus, can you feel the burn or pain? To be honest, I don’t want to. So, I encourage you today. Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice.
Philippians 4:4-7
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
James 1:2-4
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,a whenever you face trials of many kinds,
3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
