Happily Ever After
Romans 5:3-5
“Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.”
Time and time again, we see that God cares for His faithful and righteous children.
- David is delivered from Saul.
- Daniel delivered from the lions.
- Joseph delivered from slavery.
- Shadrach, Mesach, Abendego delivered from fire.
- Jesus delivered from death!
God is so faithful to deliver us through the trials and the difficulties this life brings our way. We may still have to endure and go through the tough times, but we can have 100% confidence that God is setting us up for victory! The next time we have difficulties, we should view them as opportunities to see God move!
So today, no matter what difficulties you’re facing, remember... God is good! Have Hope! God loves to bless His faithful and obedient children. And every time we overcome a trial or difficulty, it gives us more reason to praise the One who brought us through it. It gives fuel to the fire of our passion for God! The man who is saved from much, has a multitude of reasons to praise and serve the Lord Almighty! So rejoice in your sufferings, knowing, that God is simply setting us up for victory!!!! He never fails to end our stories with a, “happily ever after!” That’s my God!!!!
