When I opened my Bible© app on my phone today, the verse was James 1:12. After reading it, I knew I had to blog about it. It's such an encouraging verse, but there is so much power in this one verse alone!!
When I think of the word "trial", I think of anything that I may face in my life. Whether it's the trial of "I need to stop procrastinating!!" or it's a trial of losing a loved one. Trials and battles are not fun. I don't like them, but I don't know many who do. Especially when some trials come and go, but don't seem to end. Life is full of trials, but it's full of victories, too.
"For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory." Deuteronomy 20:4
To give you victory. I want to park there and dwell on that last part for a minute. God is on my side. My side!! He's on mine, yours, and anyone who will give over to Him the sword to fight. The battle is not mine. The trial is not yours. We are just the ones going through it. We are the reflectors of Christ. Through us, Christ resembles His incredible power. But in the end of any trial, who is glorified?? God! But, who is stronger?? We are!! Jesus Christ is the bearer of all sin, but He is also our victor!!!
How cool is that??!!?!
So, anyway, don't lose hope, friends. The battle belongs to the Lord, so rely on His strength.
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13
