This week I was reminded by one of my mentors to be thankful for struggles and problems rather than be a complainer or whiner. How hard it is but how important it is, not only is it important, but expected. We will face trials and spiritual opposition if we threaten the enemy. So as my mentor said... get use to it. More is probably on the way, you might as well learn to be Thankful and Joyful now!
James 1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4 Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does. (New International Version, Zondervan Inc., Used by permission)
Learning to be thankful and joyful through trials/health issues is a must in this life. This week, I will meditate on that thought in the midst of some "challenges"!
