Turning Trials into Victory

Read: James 1:1-11; Romans 5: 3-5

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds. Jame 1:2

     I love book of James so much. I believe that the most people have gone through all trials. No because you are Christians, even other religion people who can go same thing we are through NOW. I love Jesus' brother James who got revive after Jesus dead and raised again. The history praise James - Jesus' brother, he was a praying person, his knees were so tough, because he bowed the temple and praying all time, the Christians were called him as a pillar of church. Because he interceded from time to time, he could write it, whenever you face various trial with pure joy. You will say to me and Jesus: it is very hard, YES, I learn how to count my blessing one by one, then my joy comes back to me, we are the Christians who have negative thoughts all our lives. But God will give victory with the songs of triumphs. How wonderful God is with us to go through all big and difficult trials, you have Jesus, you will be overcome with your best friend Jesus. You shall thanks for these blessings.

        Jesus you turned my wailing into dancing, you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with Joy. (Psalms 30:11) Joyce Meyer loves this Scripture verse, she also wrote a book for it, the beauty for ashes. How beautiful, wonderful experience with amazed grace of Jesus. Because you go through all trials, verses 3-4 said, "because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." It means all trials, you need to perseverance with your faith and without no understanding, unknown situation, but you trust God with your faith, then Perseverance must finish God's works, then you may be mature and complete, it may mean that you will have more faith, joy, love, peace, hope and self control (Galatians 4:22-23 Fruit of Holy Spirit).

         Romans 5: 3-5 said, "..... we rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character; and character, hope, And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." We need Holy Spirit who work in us for trials or sufferings, perseverance produces character which the good testimony or Victoria  life. Then good character brings out hope which has never disappoint us, but encourage us every day. Holy Spirit pours out God's love to have a good hope for future. ( Jeremiah 29: 11).

         I hope that you rejoice in your good time and trail or suffer time. You will hear God who worshipers and says; "I never leave you nor forsake you." (Hebrews 13:51; Joshua 1: 5; 1 kings 9:57; Deuteronomy31: 6)  Thank you to the Lord for these Scripture Verses of God's Promises.

"Count it all Joy"

God chooses What we can go through it, He has already known our ways, But we can choose through various trials or sufferings with the great joy. And count it all joy, so that you may have triumphs or testimony through Jesus, Heavenly Father and Holy Spirit Trinity.
