1 Kings 22, Acts 13:16-41, Psalms 138:1-8, Proverbs 17:17-18
What God said to me – “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.” I know that’s not what you wanted to hear, but it is the truth. Walking after Me is not easy, but it is as you go through the difficulties I place before you that you are transformed into My image. These are the places where you learn faith and trust and patience and tolerance and understanding and kindness. These are the places where you turn to Me and learn to depend on Me. These are the places where you desperately seek Me and cry out to Me. These are the places you struggle through and come out on the other side looking like Me so you can turn and minister to others who are struggling also.
