24 Av 5765 Persevere through Suffering for God's Blessing!
James 5:10-11 NIV
Brothers, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
James, an apostle of Christ, having lived and walked daily with HIM, reminds us of the sufferings of Job and how Jehovah God blessed Job after calamity overtook him, his family and his possesions.
These WORDS of Hope and Encouragement, inspired by Holy Spirit and written through the hand of the JUST, have portrayed TRUTH for over 2000 years and continue as PROMISED, as Believers await the return of our Lord, Christ Jesus.
As Believers in Christ, we are a Blessing and a Delight unto our Lord! HE has throughout time Blessed HIS children, Exceedingly great, far above anything we could ever ask or even hope for!
Receiving every Blessing from God in our lives because of Obedience and Submission to Christ, is a testimony by which the lost and dying of the world see our Lord of Glory, who is seated on HIS Throne!!!
Our Lord's Compassion and Mercy, available to all men who humbly seek HIM,
the One True God, who created all heaven and earth, as James has written passionately about, continues to be manifested within the lives of Believers everywhere, around the world, is evidence of Holy Spirit indwelling us.
O' Lord my God, YOU are my everything,
Upon YOUR very WORD I cling!
YOU know my every need of Life,
Strengthening me during distress and strife!!
I speak couragessly of YOUR Mercy and Love,
as YOU keep watch over me,YOUR child from above!!!
For YOUR Glory and Honor, Is Forever, Amen!!!
