Rejoice Anyway
If we have faith in God, we will keep our joy in our trials. It may be a matter of saying, "I don't know what's going on, but I will rejoice anyway, and give God thanks because all things are working together for my good." This isn't easy to do, but the Bible exhorts us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts, and lean not to our own understanding. A good athlete doesn't buckle under the pressure. He lets the pressure strengthen his muscles. The Psalmist said, "It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn Your statutes. I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are right, and that in faithfulness, You have afflicted me."(Psalm 119:71,75)And proof that you truly trust God is that you will keep doing His will by reaching out to the unsaved while you are in affliction. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
