For the next couple of posts this is the topic I believe many of us struggle with and with a Biblical understanding may our minds be changed and aligned with the mind of Christ on this subject. Let me lead with this Scripture:
1 Peter 4:12,13: Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you as though some strange thing happened unto you. But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that when His glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
Hebrews 5:8: Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which He suffered.
I want you to read, reread and reread these Scriptures because what will be taught will change your life and give you a different perspective as it pertains to trials and tribulations.
Here is wisdom principle #1: Learn to embrace trials and instead of saying why me, think and say this: "Father what are you trying to show me or teach me?" Why should you think about it from that perspective? Read the Scriptures above and stay tuned for the next post……….
Peace, Grace and Love,
