Three things are sure about trials.

They will find you.

No one is excluded.

And God will give you His peace during your trial.

John 16:33 (KJV) – these things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

We can’t find peace because our mind is focused on the circumstances.

Trust God and keep your mind focused on Him and He will give you perfect peace.

Isaiah 26:3 (KJV) – thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

When you call yourself paying someone back for wronging you, you’re actually doing it to yourself.

Do to others what you want done to you.

Matthew 7:12 (KJV) – therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

We are all tempted to do what we shouldn’t.

But God makes a way for you to escape the temptation.

EVERY TIME!

I Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) – there hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Love is not just what God gives.

Love is who God is.

I John 4:7-8 (KJV) – beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

We get discouraged when it takes too long to receive what we ask for.

But when it comes it brings much joy!

Proverbs 13:12 (KJV) – hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desure cometh, it is a tree of life.

We all want that one person that will stand by our side no matter what.

That person is God!

He’s like a shadow that will stand by you no matter what.

Psalm 121:5 (KJV) – the Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

So many believe they have to clean their life up first before coming to the Father.

God who will clean you up.

Just ask for forgiveness, right where you are.

I John 1:9 (KJV) – if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

We wait for man and expect man to come through for us.

Wait for God and let Him come through for you.

Psalm 62:5 (KJV) – my soul, wait thou only upon God, for my expectations is from him.

We change. Things change.

But Jesus never changes.

Hebrews 13:8 (KJV) – Jesus is the same yesterday, and to day and for ever.
