Count it all joy...

James 1:2-3, 12 NKJV

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. Blessed  is  the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

Shalom! Day #25. Do you know that there is a joy in enduring trials and testings? Let's pray. Father in the name of Jesus we come before You this morning. We pray that as , we study Your word, open our hearts to comprehend Your word. Help us to see joy in every trials and testings we go through. In Jesus name we ask and pray. Amen.

Count it all JOY if you are persecuted. Count it all joy when you fall into various trials. If we go through the persecution and trials and testing in complaining, murmuring for sure it will be a painful experience. But if we go through joyfully, it will be a fruitful experience. Why? Because it produces patience, long sufferings, endurance and so on. Faith produces good fruits if we dare to go through it joyfully with our eyes are fully focused on Jesus and not on the things which is happening around us.

Blessed  is  the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Wow, BLESSED! We always complaint, but a man who endures temptation, trials and testing is a blessed man because of his faith in God, produces patience and good fruits in him and receives the crown of life which the Lord has promised.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
