Transcript 0:01 foreign I thank the Lord for the words we've heard today we heard earlier about trials difficulties in this life and enduring by faith in God 0:20 I needed to hear that I'm sure you do too and I just want to leave us with one verse from Romans 12 verse 12 in light of what we heard regarding trials in this life God has set it up so to be so that in this world 0:37 we're never going to be at ease outside of him there are going to be challenges every day difficulties every day and not just for us as Believers I think for human beings generally God has allowed it to be so that we'll never find peace and rest in 0:52 anything on this Earth outside of him outside of Christ himself so what do we do in light of what we heard today Romans 12 12 this is a verse that came to me about a week and a half ago it's easy for me to remember I've 1:05 memorized it but more than that I want to obey what it says here Romans 12 verse 12. I hope you can hold on to that again in like what we heard and Obey it Paul says there the holy spirit says there that we rejoice in Hope 1:20 and be patient in Tribulation and trials and we continue always in prayer as a verse the brother pointed out to me a week and a half ago and I've looked over it and over it over and over again that the Lord would make this Truth for me 1:37 rejoicing in Hope simply that tomorrow regardless of what today looks like will be better the God of all hope he says Romans 15 will fill me with joy and peace in believing and abounding in Hope by the power of His Spirit tomorrow 1:55 regardless of what today looks like will be better and this patience in Tribulation and we heard today we must endure in faith says you'll also be patient while you're going through the challenges that's why faith and patience always go 2:12 together a patient in Tribulation and then lastly Even in our trials continue always in prayer the brother pointed this verse to me I've been thinking on it many many since then many times as that since it was pointed out to me 2:32 always to rejoice in Hope and the patient in my trials whatever that might be we've heard different verses on always praying praying always this is one of those verses again to continue always in prayer I said it a moment ago that God has 2:50 allowed it so that this life and nothing outside of Christ can give us peace I want that new job I think I get it okay you might get it but you get in there and find troubles come along with it I want to get married you get married as 3:05 troubles there I want children God gives us children but there's always trouble in life that's just how it is and I think God has set it up so so that we can look to him and not be comfortable with anything on this Earth 3:21 it's just how it is that only in Christ Jesus we can find peace and rest Jesus was called a man of sorrow he was acquainted with grief he says in Isaiah 53 yet he was a man who was most joyful on Earth I see from Christ that even in times of 3:40 Sorrow my joy must not be diminished I learned that from him so may God help us wonderful things we heard today let us think about them more and more amen okay
