TRIALS & TROUBLES- at home? at work? at church?

Good morning everyone!! What a great day to be alive in Jesus!!! GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME, ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD!! How is everything going?? Running into walls instead of going throughdoors?? It happens!!!! Sooooooo, how should we respond to trials and troubles???
Psalm 18:6 "BUT IN MY DISTRESS I CRIED OUT TO THE LORD.....HE HEARD MEFROM HIS SANCTUARY." Sooooo, who should we call on???? YEP!!
Psalm 46:1-2 "GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH, ALWAYS READY TO HELP INTIMES OF TROUBLE. SO WE WILL NOT FEAR, EVEN IF EARTHQUAKES COME AND THEMOUNTAINS CRUMBLE INTO THE SEA." Sooooo, who will we confide in, ask us to help?
Mark 6:48 "HE SAW THAT THEY WERE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE.....HE CAME TO THEM."Sooooo, we know Jesus, God, the Holy Spirit is there, and we should be quick to call on our savior. Peace, assurance, and rest do not come from our efforts and what we do, but in being still and listening before our GOD
1 Peter 1:6-7 "SO BE TRULY GLAD! THERE IS WONDERFUL JOY AHEAD, EVENTHOUGH IT IS NECESSARY FOR YOU TO ENDURE MANY TRIALS FOR A WHILE. THESE TRIALS ARE ONLY TO TEST YOUR FAITH, TO SHOW THAT IT IS STRONG AND PURE. IT IS BEING TESTED AS FIRE TESTS AND PURIFIES GOLD-AND YOURFAITH IS FAR MORE PRECIOUS TO GOD THAN MERE GOLD. SO IF YOUR FAITH REMAINS STRONG AFTER BEING TRIED BY FIERY TRIALS, IT WILL BRING YOUMUCH PRAISE AND GLORY AND HONOR ON THE DAY WHEN JESUS CHRIST IS REVEALED TO THE WHOLE WORLD."
Adversity is the true test, it is the fire that refines and the hammer that shapes a leader-----YOU! Adversity reveals your shortcomings and drives you to seek God's wisdom and power. You, a leader for Christ, let the troubles be an opportunity for joy and your endurance will have a chance to grow as it says in James 1:2-4.
When troubles and trials are getting you down....STOP, DROP, and PRAY!God is always listening....YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE FAITH TO GIVE IT ALL TO HIM!!!!
Thank you for reading today. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace

Johnny
