Allow God to Use Our Struggles - and Bring About Good!

It is sometimes very difficult to find joy in problems and pain! If you are like me, you may at times feel that you have gained enough "perseverance" from the testing of faith as in today's scripture passage from James 1:2-4! However, the devotional and scriptures are good reminders that God can and will bring good out of our trials and pain in life - IF we only offer it up to Him for His purposes.

In addition to today's scriptures, the one from Romans 8:28 is a powerful reminder of this Promise of our Lord: ²⁸ And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. It doesn't say that God has brought these trials and challenges on us, but it does say that He can and will use them for good.

I thank our Lord for His Promises of being with us and using the good and bad times for His Will and Way!
