LIFE MAY GET MESSY BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS TRUST IN GOD\’S MERCY.

James 1:2-5 ESV

James 1:2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,
James 1:3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.
James 1:4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

God\’s mercy endures forever, God is always there to see you through many trials of life that was why He urged you to count it all joy when you are faced with divers trials. It\’s all part of life experience, remember God did not promise us that we would not go through valley experience or desert experience rather His promises are that we will not go through them alone rather He will be there with us.

David says in Psalm 23:4 \”Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me; your rod and staff, they comfort me\”.

Our Lord did not promise us that because we have received Him as our personal Saviour and Lord therefore everything will be smooth no rough edges NO! rather He promised that He will not leave nor forsake Us.

God allow some trials and challenges to come to us so that we will be strong and mature in character that is why the bible says \”…For you know that the testing of your Faith produces steadfastness\” according to our reading. It is to encourage us to be bold and unmovable in our faith being patience in building our character to master the tricks of dealing with every life time challenges without trying to squirm out of our difficult situations.

God loves us so much that He will never leave us to get drown according to the state of things we find ourselves He uses everything we have around us to make a way for our overcoming whatever situation we may get into. When life get Messy, look up to God and trust Him, His Mercies are sufficient enough and Is Him that gives Us the strength to overcome and become more than Conquerors.

\”Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends on from beginning to the end. He did not give up because of the cross On the contrary, because of the joy that was waiting for him, he thought nothing of the disgrace of dying on the cross, and he is now seated at the right side of God\’s throne\”. Hebrew 12:2 (GNT).

Remain Blessed 🙏
