His Perfect Will
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
- James 1:2-4
As you mature in Christ there are some things you need to accept, even though you may not understand them.
When everything in you cries, "No, Lord, no," and you say, "How could God want me to go through this?" . . . that is the time for you to bow your knee and declare, "Yes, Lord, yes." God will allow you to walk through the fire to prove that the power to deliver you is of Him and not of yourself.
He is the God who brought you in; He is the God who will bring you out. Let no thought of defeat enter your mind, but rather, "Let this mind which was in Christ be in you also" (Philippians 2:5).
When you pass through deep waters, raging storms, and terrible trials, He will see you through. Jesus delivers you from every crisis and puts your feet on solid ground - the rock of His Word.
Jesus, see me through every trial. Help me keep my eyes fixed on You in all my crises. Amen.
