November 2017 - Happy Thanksgiving to you and Happy Belated Thanksgiving to Canada
friends! [Canada just had theirs last
month of October 2017] I just found this Manna, the Christian and suffering
from Dec. 2009. I just need the
encouragement so . . .
I
thank God for His Word spoke to me through Dec. 2009 Manna. I thank God that through His Word spoke
to me through reading KJV on I Peter 4:12, reminding me not to think it strange
when the fiery trial which is to try or test me, as though some strange thing
happened to Tony.
Maybe
you are going through some “strange fiery trial,” that doesn’t make sense? I am reminded of Paul saying that we go
through some dark glass (1Cor.13:12) that we can’t see it clearly now, but
someday, we will understand it all when we see Christ. His glory will be
revealed in us.
For
now, we shall live by faith and trust the Lord with all our hearts and lean not
to your own understanding, but in all our ways … just trust God (Prov. 3:5-6). Thank You, Father
God for your words of encouragement. You really cares for us in Jesus’ name we
pray. Amen! Dorothy
Manna
from Dec. 2009 - The Christian and Suffering
“My
friends, do not be surprised at the terrible trouble which now comes to test
you. Do not think that something strange is happening to you. But be happy that
you are sharing in Christ’s suffering so that you will be happy and full of joy
when Christ comes again in glory. When people insult you because you follow
Christ, you are blessed, because the glorious Spirit, the Spirit of God, is
with you” (1 Peter 4:12-14 NCV).
As long as Satan is in the world, he continues to oppose the work of the gospel among the Christians. Satan would send every kind of troubles and afflictions upon the faithful believers who are in this ungodly world. Satan’s warfare is always going against our faith in Christ and always against the Word of God. Satan would do anything to keep us from reading or memorizing the Word of God.
Through fiery trials (terrible trouble) God allows you to share in His suffering and forms within you the quality of character He desires. God wants to make you a very fine child of God. Trust Him. Just remember when you suffer and remain faithful to Christ, you will be considered blessed, for “the spirit of glory and of God rest upon you.” We are blessed when God’s Presence is with us. Let us be thankful to God!
Chorus: When We See Christ
It will be worth it all when we see Jesus;
Life’s trials will seem so small when we see Christ;
One glimpse of His dear face, all sorrow will erase;
So bravely run the race till we see Christ.
(Lyrics & Music: Esther Kerr Rusthoi)
