The Grace Of Tribulation And Perseverance

There is this place in life that if you keep enduring pain and trials in your life and you slowly work through all of it you start to develop this joyful expectation of the reward behind enduring all of it. 

I was wrestling with lack of resources and the Lord just implanted a deep feeling of endurance and the confidence that the hard work I put in towards helping my family stay stable financially is starting to pay off.

 There are small instances that you see the Lord carrying you and  you see God in the midst of the storm. 

Friends, I ask you what storm are you caught up in? Where do you see God? Run to him as fast as you can. God whispers to me a lot of times and he seems distant from me. 

I remember earlier this week I was struggling to provide even essentials for my family and a Walmart gift card was loaded from a return we brought to exactly $7.01. You may wonder why that matters?

What you don’t know is that was the address number of the last house I lived in with my parents, 701 High Pine street. 

God was showing me that he was with me and that my parents see me! (Surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses Hebrews 12:1) 

There is a constant perspective shift and renewal of the mind you have to work through to always remember that God loves you (Romans 12:1-2) ,he’s for you and he sees you. If you only get a chance to read one verse, read in 1 John 4:9 that God shows his love in a very surreal tangible way by sending his son to die on the cross for us. How much more obvious can his love be for us? It’s a lot more near than it may seem sometimes! 

Trust in God he is always speaking, we just need to always be listening. 

Be blessed and a highly favored family! 

God Bless, Daniel Church
