We, Christ followers, are not guaranteed a life without trials and tribulations. In fact, Jesus said this and moreover He said that we should endure the trials and tribulations in the faith of knowing that He has overcome this world.
Here in Acts, Paul is exhorting the disciples to continue in the faith, knowing that through the tribulations that we suffer, we will enter into the Kingdom of GOD.
It is very painful to go through the pain and suffering here on earth. Both our own and that of others.
It is sometimes almost as painful to watch our loved ones and our friends experience pain and suffering as it is to go through it ourselves because of our human frailty.
However, through the pain and suffering we are experiencing we are being perfected to be able to be fit enough to enter into the Kingdom of GOD.
It is not to say that everyone who believes will have the same level of tribulation. But we need to be humbled. Trials and tribulations can bring us much closer to the end of ourselves and towards total reliance on Jesus. That is where GOD wants us to be.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I thank YOU that YOU are refining me through the trials and tribulations that I face in order to make me fit to enter into YOUR Kingdom. I thank YOU in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay faithfully Jesus Blessed today!
