Time To Endure 8
Jam 1:12 "Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him". Rom 15:1 Those of us who are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak. "Blessed be God our Father" calls us to praise God (2Co 1:3-7, 1Pe 1:3). Why does God let us get into trials? To receive His comfort then to comfort . What do we need to do when we find ourselves in suffering? 1) know Him; draw near to Him; 2) comfort someone else (1Pe 2:5-9); 3) expect equivalence — the greater the test the greater the comfort; 4) build your ministry on that comfort to others. Paul suffered but endured (2Co 11:24-33, 2Co 12:1-9).
Scripture References: Romans 15:1, James 1:12
