JULY 19 – SUFFERING

July 19                        Romans 5:3-5

3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. 5 And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love. 

SUFFERING

We don’t understand it most of the time, but His promise is that our suffering will not lead us to despair instead it will lead us to Him.  He dearly loves us.  He is always with us.  Our suffering will be used to help us develop endurance and strength of character which will enhance our confident hope in His salvation.
