Daily Thoughts 12-11-2014

Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭1-5‬ NABRE
"Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access [by faith] to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope, and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the holy Spirit that has been given to us."

O Come, O Come Emmanuel and Ransom Captive Israel

Have you thought of the affliction that Joseph experienced upon finding out his bride to be was pregnant? He could of had Mary stoned but he chose to get a divorce and send her off.  In his disappointment he still was a righteous man.

His character was being tested without him knowing that God had a purpose for everything.  Stand tall in your afflictions, let them build character and know that Jesus has a purpose for you no different than Joseph.  Let the Holy Spirit be your guide in good times as well as bad.
