constantly rejoicing in hope [because of our confidence in Christ], steadfast and patient in distress, devoted to prayer [continually seeking wisdom, guidance, and strength], ROM 12:12 AMP

Few Lessons:
1. Joy is not the absence of issues, but the consciousness of who I am. I rejoice because my life is in the hands of the One who is able to sleep through the storms.
2. My joy has a basis: hope in Christ and in eternity. I know it does not just end here; everything I do now is a preparation for eternity.
3. There is an assurance that distress will come. I have learnt to ignore messages that assure me that I will not have problems; I choose to focus on God's Word and the many promises made. He talks about His Presence, his Power, his Protection, his Provision, his Peace, his Potency and his Perfect Will. If my heart is focused on these many assurances, how can I be afraid of what tomorrow holds?
4. I must keep seeking God's face in prayer. Yesterday's leading does not cut it for today. I must seek fresh insights and direction for today, because no day is ever like the one before or after it. I must keep God ever before me, because he knows the way I should take, and the way that will lead to the fulfilment of his purpose for my life. His time of favour is here.
