More Of Godサンプル

DAY FIVE: Why We Should Count It All Joy Every trial is a gift from God. They come with invitations to get closer to God and to get more of Him. Do you want more of God? I can guarantee one of the best ways to do this is by dignifying the trial He puts in your path. I can tell you, the greatest trials I had during my twenty-five years at Westminster Chapel are what I now treasure. What I thought was the worst thing that ever happened to me I now honestly regard as the best thing that ever happened to me. Even my folly works together for good—eventually. Yes, when I am foolish and bring suffering on myself, that too falls into God’s melting pot. He takes the bad and the ugly of our lives and turns them into a pattern for good. James is telling us to consider the trial as all joy now . Don’t wait until later when it takes no faith to believe it. Get the maximum victory when you cannot remotely see how this trial could be a good thing. That is the time James wants us to impute joy to the trial, tragedy, hurt, or reversal. Do you want more of God? I urge you to prove this by dignifying the trial now . This devotional is based on R. T.
