There are days when your life is filled with so much joy, you just can’t help but praise Jesus for His goodness! But the moment when everything seems to go wrong, it’s a whole different story! Let's be clear: just because you are a Christian does not mean that everything will go smoothly in your life! Remember, calm seas . . . don’t make better sailors! In other words, if you’ve never experienced the challenges and difficulties of life, you would never learn to lean on Jesus! If people were always blissfully happy, they would never know their need of a Savior! So instead of being bitter, thank God for your trials! The Bible says in James 1:2, “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds.” And in James 1:12, we’re told, “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.” What a beautiful promise to claim! Remember Job stood the test and remained faithful to God even though he lost literally everything! He lost all his wealth, his home, his wife, his children, and even his friends! Yet, through it all, Job praised God! Oh, how wonderful it would be to have that deep love and faith in God! It doesn’t matter what heartache or trials you are experiencing–in all things . . . praise God!
