John 16:33 (NASB) says… “These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”
This tells us that we will encounter problems, trials, sadness, grief, and the like. But, we can still have joy, because Jesus is with us and He will help us through it. We just have to depend on Him.
James reminds us in James 1:2-4 to consider it joy, when we have problems, trials, sadness, grief, and the like… When we face these obstacles, they help us grow… they test our faith, which helps us endure. So, we must remember to let our trouble be opportunities to grow our faith and develop our endurance.
In these moments… God is making us better through our troubles, so we should be joyful that we are growing faith, becoming stronger, and developing our endurance.
Be joyful!
