In my devotions

Trials are inevitable, A part of life. God uses them to refine us, to burn up the dross, to mold us into the image of Jesus Christ. even he was not immune to the difficulties of life. Jesus face persecution, mocking, and death on the cross.

But in the midst of all trouble, Jesus walks beside us. holds our noses above the water; he wraps us in flame retardant clothing. we will not drown nor will we be consumed in the fiery furnace. why? because he ransomed us. he paid sin's penalty ,he delivered us from the slavemarket of sin ,and he calls us by name.

so when you feel like you're drowning in a flood of trouble and difficulty, breathe deeply and relax. body surf across as waves. even if the fire of oppression singes you, remember that his promise says you will not be so consumed. he will satisfy your desires in the scorch places
( Isaiah 58:11)
    Face life with no fear-you are God.

I love this and it touched my life deeply when I needed it I figured I would share it with you all. it reminded me God will not give us more than we can bear in life. 

hope you all have a good rest of the day! and were somehow encouraged through this. I know I was.
