“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”
This is a scripture that is quoted quite often but can be easily misunderstood. This doesn’t mean that
God sends bad stuff our way. It does mean that no matter what happens, God can do His thing and
make it work out for His good. If you’ve gone through tough times or are going through a rough time,
God can take the mess and bring a message out of it. Hold tight to Jesus, He’ll never let you down!

“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and constant in prayer.”
Great words from St. Paul for us in the good times and the times of struggle. Jesus tells us also that in this life we will have tribulation but to be of good cheer, because He has overcome the world. So…if we think everything is always going to be easy or if someone tells us if we live or believe a certain way then life will be without challenges, we will be continually disappointed. The truth is that life is tough but that there will also be times of hope and celebration. The key to living a fulfilled, contented Christian life is summed up in the last 3 words of the quote above. Being “constant in prayer” will keep us in continual fellowship with Jesus. Abiding in Him brings forth peace and as we get better at hearing His still small voice, He will lead us throughout our day. By the way, if you just read this, send me an email at wakeuppc@gmail.com and I will send you a blessing!
Rejoicing in Hope,
