Beloved, can you count it all joy in all of this world's trials and testings (James 1:1-9)? Is the Good Lord more than enough to meet each one of our tribulations (2 Cor. 12:6-12)? Dear friends, it is in the trials of this life that Jesus seeks to disciple us under His most gracious yoke, to teach us in His RIGHTEOUS ways, and to reach the lost as His Personal ambassador -Prov. 3:5-6, Matt. 11:28-30, Gal. 2:20, Eph. 2:10, Phil. 2:13, James 1:1-6).
Beloved, by faith, count it all joy when you do fall into the many-faceted testings of this life, for in these seasons, the Lord Jesus will teach and disciple you in the ways of His wonders of wisdom, and when the trial and season have passed, you will possess the agape relationship with the Godhead and be stregnthened by His Holy Spirit and love (Phil. 4:4, 1 John 1:1-4).
Be sure to check out this Unto the Chief Musician Music video and think on these things.

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith works patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.James 1:2-4.
Rejoice in Say

I’ve run a race and ain’t sure it’s good or bad. I suppose I should not even worry about that But by Keeping one’s Eye On The Prise of Christ JESUS....
Their is any better Face to Behold or voice to hear say “Come into Thy Rest..”
Hebrews 4:—19

I just read that and

Thanks be to God and His only Son Jesus
