Give Thanks & Do Not Be Afraid (9.16.13)

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. - James 1:2-4

In everything give thanks!
For this is the will of GOD. 

Give thanks when you are going through struggles; 

knowing that these trials will produce endurance. 

Understand that He is at work behind the scenes, always working on your behalf.  

He wants to bless you with the desires of your heart.  
He is at work to smooth the rough edges in your life. 
So be patient when trials come, and understand that with each test, 
your faith in GOD will become stronger.

Do not believe the enemy when he comes - like a roaring lion to devour you. Do not back down to his schemes, nor be intimidated by his viciousness.  he is unable to make you fall, for God has placed His angels all around you; and the Lord's blood stained banner is over you. So do not be afraid when trials of all sorts come, but embrace them and give thanks to your Heavenly Father; who is working on your behalf to produce fruit in your life that will glorify His kingdom.

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is GOD's will for you in Christ Jesus -  1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
