Beloved, today’s poster from “Pinterest” is an interesting one. It says:
DIFFICULT ROADS OFTEN LEAD TO BEAUTIFUL DESTINATIONS
One of our favorite websites is that of “National Geographic”. If you want to see the most amazing pictures from nature and locations so far –flung that few people have visited, then we urge you to go to the Nat Geo website. What never fail to amaze us are the efforts that people put in to capture these images on film. They must have climbed the highest mountain, gone to the lowest depths of the earth to behold these wonderful sights. What of the pictures of wild and dangerous animal that we can enjoy in the comfort of our living room with just the click of a mouse? Someone traveled a long and difficult road to bring us that rare, wonderful and majestic picture we see.Beloved, in life we shall face trials. Jesus did not promise us a trouble free life. He said in John 16 v. 13:
“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”Listen, beloved! What Jesus is saying is this:There is no crown without a cross.
There is no crown without a thorn.
There is no testimony without a test.
There is no triumph without a trial.The assurance that we have through it all is that no matter the test, we are more than conquerors and overcomers through Christ Jesus, who strengthens us!
Remember:
“Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.”- Psalm 30 v. 5.
No matter what you are faced with, remember that God can never fail. If he had failed before in the past, you wouldn’t even be where you are right now. That difficult situation that you are facing is God’s way of preparing you for greater blessings, so that when you receive your blessing, you can cherish it.
Yes, the road may be difficult, but you are not walking alone. The prize God has for you is a great prize. The greater the blessing, the greater the test. You have the Creator of the Universe walking with you every step of the way. Even when you think you don’t have the strength to go, he carries you in his mighty arms!
Be encouraged!
God loves you!

LET US WITH A GLADSOME MIND , PRAISE THE LORD FOR HE IS KIND by John Milton (1623)
Let us, with a gladsome mind,
Praise the Lord, for He is kind.
For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
Let us blaze His Name abroad,
For of gods He is the God.
For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
He with all commanding might
Filled the new made world with light.
For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
He the golden tressèd sun
Caused all day his course to run.
For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
Th’horned moon to shine by night;
’Mid her spangled sisters bright.
For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
All things living He doth feed,
His full hand supplies their need.
For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
Let us, with a gladsome mind,
Praise the Lord, for He is kind.
For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
