Good afternoon Blessed Women of God, thanking God for this beautiful
Thanksgiving Thursday, and giving him all the Praise and Glory.
We want God to change our circumstances, but God wants to use our circumstances to change us. It can be easy to think that God is obligated to make life easy for us and to remove all of our difficult circumstances. But, the truth is that during hard times God is preparing us for greater things. If He removed the difficult circumstances in our lives, we would probably never mature. James 1:2-4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. NIV. In other words if you are going through trials now, take hope in the fact that almost everyone in the Bible who did great things for God also had to endure great hardships. Therefore, don't always beg God to change your circumstances. Instead, view each as an opportunity for God to change you, making you mature and complete, not lacking anything. Read and Meditate in your bible study time on James 1:2-4, 2Corinthians 11:24-27.
I love you IN Christ JESUS, Sis. B.
