Trouble and Toil

Have you ever wanted a day to just be over or a month to be done with? Yeah that's the feeling when affliction has simply ravaged the day and overtaken your month. So many problems and troubles have shown up that it is hard to enjoy all the good things.

The troubles and thankless toil wears on the soul but look up. No matter if it is physical, financial or anything else we must remember to be thankful and gracious. And also to pray.

The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. Proverbs 18:10

Know that God is working in your life and sometimes things that happen are for greater revelations. In the Bible when Lazarus, whom Jesus loved, was dying. He stayed for two more days where he (Jesus) was. Lazarus died, then Jesus went to him and raised him from the dead. In the end, Lazarus and his sisters experienced a greater revelation of God.

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Romans 12:12

Know that the troubles will not last. Keep praising God no matter what comes to pass. Let the suffering be a reason to be joyful. Let the toil and trouble give you greater joy and know that God will give you more than you had before.

I know it is hard in the midst of trouble to keep praising, but that is just what you need to do. Keep believing, keep seeking Jesus and his love and do it with a joyful heart and you will be greatly rewarded for your faith.
