It’s Your Choice to Rejoice in Trouble
By Rick Warren — July 2, 2020


“Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy.”

James 1:2 (NLT)

No matter what challenges and difficulties you face, you can trust God to see you through.

That’s why the Bible says you can rejoice when you face trouble: “Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy” (James 1:2 NLT).

It’s easy to misunderstand this verse. God’s not saying be a martyr. He’s not saying deny reality. He's not saying fake it ‘til you make it.

We don't rejoice for the trouble. But we can still rejoice during the trouble because of what we know is true.

And what is true? We know that God sees and cares about everything we're going through. We know that we're never alone, that God is always with us. We know that he will give us strength if we trust him.

One of the greatest comforts when you're going through troubles is God’s promise in Romans 8:28: "We know that in everything God works for the good of those who love him . . . " (NCV).

God has promised to bring good out of bad for us—in everything. That includes the pandemic! That's not a promise for everybody. It's a promise for believers, those who love him and are committed to living according to his purpose.

When you're in a tough time, joy is a choice because you can rely on the goodness of God. Joy is not based on circumstances, and that’s why it's your choice to rejoice no matter what the situation.

Joy is not based on circumstances, and that’s why you are able to make a choice to rejoice no matter what your situation is.

Joy is based on what we know is true, and it’s based on our faith that God will fulfill his promise to work things out for good, according to his purpose.

In Psalm 34:1, King David said, "I will praise the LORD at all times; his praise is always on my lips" (NCV). Even now, we should thank God. Praise God. Rejoice in God—not just in good times. At all times.

 

What a wonderful thing! Simply outstanding!!

Sometimes when times are good, we forget to praise God as we get caught up in our own concerns and enjoyment of life. thanks for the bible verse this morning.

 

Hot hot hot this weekend. Taking a day off from boating today though. Need a detox day.

MotoGP is actually being shown on NBC today at 3 cst. That's a first in a while that it's not on cable or pay tv.

 

I got a new neighbor it’s a horse. They just moved him in next door.. The neighbor on the front field. Didn’t know where the boundary lines were. I showed her some and I marked them on the front this morning. I’ll get a pic as soon as he settles down a little bit. I think he’s gonna look gorgeous running through my front field.

She asked if she could put some temporary fencing up and use some of my front field to let him roam on. I agreed as long as we sign a piece of paper. Less for me to mow!!

 

FAR too hot to accomplish anything today. 93F at my house, 97 away from the pond. Its not TOO terrible in the shade. We just had some friends visit for an outside playdate with the kids. They played, we hid in the shade.

 

Got to agree with you. Chaz decided to do some mowing. At least there is a breeze and it is overcast. It was about 85 when he started and 90 when he stopped. We are now on a severe thunderstorm alert. Can hear the rumblings off to the west. We need it. Hopefully it will help to cool it down.

 

89 and muggy here, but I did spend 2 hours on the mower.. only another 6 or so to go


But.. thunderstorms are on the way..
Darn

 

Darn.. mowing postponed

 

From 89 to 70 in 14 minutes



I miss that young idiot that would spend all day in the heat throwing bales of hay, detassling corn, or roofing, and not think that much of it.

Wonder what ever happened to him



Edit.. In case anyone is not aware of the answer.. he grew older and succumbed to the sins of Gluttony and Sloth


Honesty isn't a problem though

 

Holly trying to decide if she wants to go wandering around in the storm.

 

I know another young feller like that...

 

Nah.. I think you've got going on brother
