“Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in His suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing His glory when it is revealed to all the world.”
The work week is almost over. I’m sure you can think of some great things that happened during the week that you can praise God for. He’s been so good to you. But let me ask you this… Isn’t God still good even if a couple bad things came your way this week?

Today’s scripture reminds us not to be surprised when we go through trying times in life, but instead be very glad knowing the hard times we are experiencing make us partners with Christ in His suffering. For on the other side of this suffering is the wonderful joy of seeing His glory. This glory will be revealed in us. The joy of Christ. The peace of Christ. The healing of Christ. The prosperity of Christ. The strength of Christ. To get there, remember to be very glad in the presence of adversity knowing that God is in control and it’s all in His plan for us.
Just hold on
