The thing is that everyone who has made Jesus the Lord of their lives can choose to be happy in times of great peril. Many of the bible heroes were under great persecution and yet thy chose to rejoice and told the readers to again I say rejoice !! History records that one of those followers was in human refuse under the prison where he was being held for preaching Christ, and yet he was rejoicing and encouraged others to do the same!! That person was none other than Paul the apostle that wrote two-thirds of the New Testament.
I am so thankful to the Lord Jesus for drawing me to Him and giving me the grace to except Him, to be Lord over my life. Accepting Christ is the most important decision a person can make in their life. I am humbled that I made that decision almost 40 yrs ago and He has never failed me. Does it mean that I don't go through tough times? No way, but it does mean that He never leaves me or forsakes me in my times of need. Does it mean that He does things the way I am expecting Him too? Of course not, but He does things the best way for He knows the best for me.
We have a lot to do with how things turn out in our lives as well, we have a free will to do how we want. We gain knowledge through the Word of God, the Bible and we pray and apply the Word to our lives and do the things that He tells us to do and then He does the things we cannot do. He even helps us do the things that we can do.
We need a relationship with The Lord to lead us and guide us into the truth that we need for our current circumstances that are causing us pain, or the things that are bringing us great joy. He is the God of the mountain top and the valley. He will never leave us of forsake us!!
This is the day that the Lord has made and I will be glad in it. I want the Lord to reveal things to me not just to have knowledge but things that He gives to me it is for my family. I want to know that scripture but not sure where it is but giving my children things that the Lord has given me revelation on. If I do not give my children money but give them truths I am still leaving them and inheritance. I really want to be rich though so that I can help establish God's truth on the earth.
