12/30/22 GOD HAS A PURPOSE

Personal trials are not always judgments or punishments or chastisements from God. They also come to make us strong and minister to others and to glorify God.

Remember, life is short, at best.
God is always good to His people.
All things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose.
God is the giver of every good and perfect gift.
God gives us everything that pertains to life and godliness.
God does all things well.
God never fails.
God never leaves nor forsakes those who trust Him.

Don't miss your opportunity to draw closer to God and to minister to others and to glorify God.

PLEASE READ, MEDITATE ON THIS PASSAGE.
2 Corinthians 4:7-18
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
