Reflecting on Tribulation and Triumph

Reflecting on Tribulation and Triumph

As the day starts, let us reflect on the trials we have faced. Each challenge, each hardship, is a step on the path to God’s kingdom. These tribulations are not random; they are part of a divine design, shaping us into the image of Christ.
Remember that the journey of faith is not devoid of pain.

We must, through much tribulation, enter into the kingdom of God.   Acts 14:22

The lives of the saints testify to this truth. From Job’s unwavering faith to the apostles’ steadfast endurance, we see that tribulation is a hallmark of God’s chosen people. This is not a punishment, but a refining process, preparing us for eternal glory.

Though the path may be difficult, we are never alone. Jesus, our Savior, has walked this road before us. He understands our pain and offers His unwavering support. His grace is sufficient to sustain us, and His example teaches us how to bear our burdens with patience and hope.

As we look forward to the kingdom, let us remember that the trials we endure are temporary. The joy and glory that await us will far surpass any suffering we experience.

Lord, I bring before You the trials I have faced. Thank You for Your presence and strength that have sustained me. Help me to remember that these tribulations are shaping me for Your kingdom. Grant me peace and rest, knowing that You are in control. May I wake with renewed hope and faith. Amen.

The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears.  Something to think about.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
