Jakobus 1:2-3

Many of us see wisdom as something more experienced people have. But, we really can have it no matter how long we’ve lived. This 5-day Plan will give you insight into what godly wisdom actually is and how to gain it.

Vreugde is niet zomaar een gevoel, het is een bron van kracht. In dit leesplan ontdek je hoe je vol vertrouwen, vrede en doelgericht de competitie kunt aangaan. Persoonlijke verhalen, praktische inzichten en de Bijbel helpen je om je focus op Jezus te richten. Ga verder dan resultaten en geniet van blijvende vreugde in elk seizoen. Dit vijfdaagse plan, geschreven door atlete Kate Wiesner, maakt deel uit van de Competition Series for Athletes.

Suffering can be perplexing. God’s people—and even Jesus himself—have often asked the “Why?” question when facing suffering. Scripture pulls back the curtain to reveal some, though not all, of God’s purposes in permitting suffering to enter our lives. Through it all, we are called to persevere faithfully, resting in the assurance of ultimate victory and eternal reward.

Each of us is sure to suffer at some point in our lives. As a counselor, I’ve seen sufferers transformed. I’ve seen those once debilitated by trauma learn to suffer well. In this brief devotional, I pray that you will realize that your story is not over. You may experience suffering, but you can suffer well. You can ask, What’s next? instead of getting stuck asking, Why? You can become resilient.
