Encouragement for your daily walk with God
A mature Christ follower has learned an important principle: the acquisition of material possessions does not necessarily mean God’s favor and, undergoing extreme trial is neither God’s disfavor or a lack of faith. Likewise, experiencing favorable circumstances does not mean that God is with us and, undergoing trial and suffering does not mean that God is not with us.
Measuring good/bad, success/failure solely on circumstances is the way of the world. Christ followers are different. We know that we have something better because we have a relationship with the almighty God. A Christ follower can have joy in both good times and bad times.
Perhaps your are experiencing hard times. If that is the case, if you are facing difficulties, then choose to rejoice in the Lord. We have a greater treasure, and a more endearing victory when our lives are centered on Him—with joy!
That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven: for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. Matthew 5:45
