Through difficulty and delight in life, let us always acknowledge the Lord and count all circumstances in joy

The River

Today’s message highlights, “Turning away from trials is our natural response to life… Jesus tells us that throughout life we will have many troubles. At the same time, He offers us strength by reminding us that He has overcome them all (John 16:33). This is of great comfort to us when life becomes the raging river and we are struggling just to keep our heads above the water.” In times like these, let us take courage and remain in hope and faith, knowing our Father has overcome and we will too. In all situations, great and small, the Lord will bring us through it all.

James 1:2 reads, “Consider it pure joy…whenever you face trials of many kinds.

Let us be encouraged about the lessons and blessings that come from even the most challenging and difficult times in our lives.

Small Straw Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Know that you will never be the same when you truly walk with Christ. New life begins each day, giving us an opportunity to be even better than the day before as we continue to transform.

Youversion Verse of the Day: Matthew 7:7

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

Let us forever be consistent and persistent, never hesitating to turn to our Father from everything that requires us to see, discover, open, and determine.

Through difficulty and delight in life, let us always acknowledge the Lord and count all circumstances in joy, my friend.🙏🏽💚🦋🌈
