rejoice in trials

The Holy Spirit moved in the hearts of people at a concert in Orlando, FL.  One man said, “This was just for me tonight!”  Many others expressed how God had spoken to them in their needs.  We are already talking about a return visit next year at Wycliffe Headquarters.


Remember that God is at work within each one of us who know Him.  The trials we have make us stronger when we trust Him.  Yes, “All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).  The Word says in 1 Peter 1: 6  “In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith-more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire- may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ”. 

​So, be exceedingly glad and exuberantly jubilant.  This kind of joy is not based on temporal circumstances, BUT comes from the unchanging, eternal relationship with God. Trust Him!
