‘My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, ‘
James 1:2
I’m learning.
And.
God.
Has been.
Faithful.
In.
Teaching me.
That.
I must.
Remain.
Joyful.
When.
Things.
Don’t.
Go.
As.
I think.
They.
Should.
Go!
This morning.
Pastor Cochran.
Delivered.
A word.
That.
Helped.
Me.
See.
What.
I’m.
Experiencing.
Through.
The.
Eyes.
Of.
God!
Pastor Cochran.
Spoke.
From.
The subject.
Always Joyful.
And.
It.
Challenged.
My.
Thinking!
This.
Year.
Is.
The year.
Of.
Progression.
At.
A place.
Of.
Refuge.
Newnan.
And.
I can.
Truthfully.
Say.
I’ve.
Gotten.
Better.
Throughout.
The.
Year!
However.
The word.
Pastor Cochran.
Spoke.
On.
Today.
Is.
An.
Area.
Where.
I must.
Continue.
To.
Get.
Better.
In!
Look.
It’s easy.
To be.
Joyful.
When.
Everything.
Is.
Going.
Well.
However.
I’m learning.
I must.
Be.
Joyful.
When.
I’m.
Going.
Through.
Various.
Trials.
For.
The most.
Part.
No one.
Can.
Tell.
When.
I’m.
Going.
Through.
Difficult.
Seasons.
In.
My life.
But.
I do.
Get.
Depressed.
When.
I’m.
Faced.
With.
Challenging.
Situations.
When.
I was.
Unsaved.
I would.
Lay.
Around.
All day.
In.
The dark.
Whining.
About.
My.
Situation.
But.
Now.
I know.
This.
Is.
Wrong.
And.
Goes.
Against.
God’s word!
Now.
When.
This spirit.
Comes.
Upon.
Me.
I cast.
It down.
In.
Jesus name.
Then.
I praise.
God.
For.
The season.
He.
Has.
Me.
In.
Because.
I know.
God.
Is.
Building.
Me up.
To.
Help.
Others!
‘knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. ‘
James 1:3-4
I pray.
That you.
Learn.
To.
Always.
Be.
Joyful.
In.
Whatever.
Season.
God.
Has.
You.
In.
Because.
His plan.
Is.
Perfect.
For.
Those.
That.
Trust.
Him!
‘But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You.’
Psalms 5:11
I love you!
And.
I pray your day is blessed!
In Jesus name, Amen!
