A Fellowship of Suffering

“For to you in has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to
believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake.”

Philippians 1:29
 

Often people will come to the Lord and think that once they become a Christian their problem will go away. And, unfortunately, some preachers lead people to believe this.

However, the Christians life is not exempt from problems and trials. In fact, becoming a Christian often brings with it a long list of problems and difficulties. Yet, God is bigger than our problems and at work in the midst of our most severe trials.

Thought for the Day:
Trials and difficulties are merely opportunities for us to
Become more like Christ in our thoughts,
Attitudes, and behaviors.
