Endure with Joy
“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.”
Joy and trials don’t seem to go together - but in Christ, they do. Why? Because trials produce endurance, and endurance leads to maturity. You’re not going through this for nothing. God is developing something deep in you - something that only grows through pressure. Don’t just survive the season. Endure with joy, knowing it’s shaping who you’re becoming.
Reflection
What challenge are you facing today? Ask God to help you see it through His eyes - with joy.
