Let’s be honest, sometimes it is difficult to trust God when we experience storms in life. However, storms don’t last forever and trials are an opportunity for a testimony. It gives God so much glory when we know we’re going through a tough trial and we stand strong, trusting in the Lord until He delivers us……without complaining. Complaining is certainly not a fruit of the Spirit and, in fact, is detrimental to the peace, joy, and patience that God offers during times of testing. Paul reminds us in 2 Cor 4:17, that our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So today remember in times of trouble that our character should be stronger than our circumstances, all struggles lead to strength, God’s timing is always perfect, and God will never leave our side.
