We had tickets to a sold-out Beth Moore Living Proof event tonight. God has really blessed her with an ability to speak and I needed the refreshment I got from the message and worship. Here's some of the points she touched on:
James 1:1-12
1. Each of us gets 1 mortal life.
2. Each 1 life is marked by multiple seasons.
3. Each season is colored by different trials. (multi-color ones at that)
4. For believers, every trial is assigned divine tasks (ministry ops., character change, specific insight/knowledge, etc.)
a. Every true trial evokes a test of faith
b. Every trial will expose a need of new wisdom
c. Every victory will take courage and make courage
d. Courageous perseverers are greatly rewarded
Her main thoughtline was that God's workmanship in us is a masterpiece he is working on of our lives. The various trials we persevere through are the colors added to the masterpiece. They have purpose and make us up what to be by then end of our life. So therefore, we can count trial as pure joy because of the effects they produce.
Going through some trials right now myself, and hearing God's work be so relevant in my life was awesome. Wow, never seen so many baptist women in one place though!
