Joy Will Come

Joy Will Come
By Rob Gardner

“So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world” (1 Peter 1:6-7).

We all have junk going on in our lives. Trials and tribulations are part of life on this earth. Some trials are very difficult. Some trials are horrifying. Many trials shake us down to the marrow in our bones, but these trials will show how strong our faith is in our Lord. By our faith in Christ, we will survive and flourish. In the midst of our trials, we will grow closer to Him.

One day when we meet Jesus our trials will be laid aside and the joy of His presence will overwhelm us. Then we will understand the true meaning of joy.

Lord God, help us to have the faith it takes to get through the current trial that we are going through. Help us to seek Your joy, in the midst of the storm that we are enduring. Help us to have peace when there seems to be only turmoil around us. Father, give us the faith of Abraham. We ask and pray in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
