Journey Through Suffering

DAY 5 OF 5


Joy In Every Circumstance

Joy in suffering? Those two words sound like the opposite of each other! Suffering is like anything else we encounter, it only makes sense when we look to God and see what Scripture has to say. As we read various verses it may seem that the command for us is to be happy and excited about suffering. That is not the case. We can have joy and hope because we know the end of the story. Bernadette Todd has much experience in choosing joy in her suffering.
Listen to Bernadette
So we rejoice. We rejoice, as Bernadette said, because we trust that what God says in His Word is true. We rejoice because we know that rejoicing is not about our feelings or our abilities to perform. Instead, rejoicing is about resting in Jesus and remembering the joy that awaits us. We fix our eyes on Jesus because He suffered on our behalf. He is our perfect model. He was looking toward the joy set before Him. That was His Journey Through Suffering.

About this Plan

Journey Through Suffering

Suffering can seem like a journey with no end in sight. But like everything, God walks with us through it. This five-day devotional provides ideas for how to trust God no matter the outcome. We know that suffering is not the end of the road. Others will sometimes come alongside us, but Jesus will fill in the gaps when they are not there. Joy can be ours today!
