Reflections & Introspection, That'll Preach Sayings, Worship & Prayer
21 Apr , 2016
Posted this on Facebook last week and wanted to share it on my blog as a journal entry:
“Count it all JOY, my brothers,[a] when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the TESTING OF YOUR FAITH produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its FULL effect, that YOU may be perfect and complete, LACKING IN NOTHING. ” James 1:2-4

\\\///This perfection and completeness in life will come from a FULL dose of perseverance through the storms, loneliness, battles, and the hardships of life. In jest & jokes, we #TheStruggleIsReal, yet it is all too familiar as we suffer (usually in silence). But there is a JOY that ONLY God gives when we meet difficult situations. A joy that SPEAKS LOUDER than our woes and even our foes!
Hang in there beloved… Surround yourself with encouraging friends. Get in God’s Word as you saturate yourself in worship & prayer. You can do this and its not going to get the best of you. Your struggle as you produce perfected perseverance could be the alarm clock to someone else’s deliverance and breakthrough. #ThoughtsFromBed #Joy #Perseverance #Faith

The simple yet thought-provoking 5 words are ministering to me today. I wonder if we change our minds about failure, we could alter our destinies. Sometimes, it is meant to simply set us free. @ Battlefield of the Mind https://www.instagram.com/p/CSPoXHULzda/?utm_medium=twitter
When Pharaoh finally let the people go, God DID NOT LEAD them along the main road that runs through Philistine territory, even though that was the SHORTEST route to the Promised Land….” — Exodus 13:17

The God of Peace is wanting to give you peace.. No matter what’s the struggle or situation, PEACE is available in the midst of the storm
JOY is greater than our trials and circumstances. JOY creates an atmosphere for our miracles. JOY is an enabler of Faith. Choose JOY today despite what is going on around you.
The reason we don’t lose our righteousness is because of our position (with God) not our performance (for God).
