Broken But Still Praising

Greetings to all. On this "grateful" Thursday, let us not think it is strange that we experience the joy we experience through the trials we face.

In this life, we will face trials and more trials. However, being a part of Christ's suffering now assures us of the opportunity to rejoice forever. Besides, the trials we face help us to grow spiritually. They also help to prove our faith as being genuine.

1 Peter 4:13 (NKJV)

13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding Joy.

Lesson: To those who believe, hang in there! We can see and count our trials as joy when considering eternity. This joy will allow us to praise God in our brokenness.
