Day 4 - Count it all Joy

James 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. (NKJV)

God wants us so confident in who He is in us, and who we are in Him, that when trials come our way we know that victory and massive breakthroughs are also coming our way.

Here is a thought-provoking question…

What if the challenge in front of us is our reward for overcoming the last challenge?

When a basketball team finishes a tough regular season and qualifies for the playoffs, what is their reward? They get to play a tougher team. And if they win in the first round of the playoffs what is their reward? They get to play a tougher team.

These victories also come with perks and other rewards. “Each player gets $500,000 for winning the title, $200,000 for making the final, $100,000 for reaching the semifinals and $50,000 for making the quarterfinals.” NBA.com

When we overcome challenges we grow in wisdom, and wisdom is of the utmost value. (Proverbs 8:11) But sometimes we get thrown off track when challenges come our way, simply because we don’t have a clear revelation of what’s happening.

Challenges strengthen us and allow God to accomplish His perfect work in us. Challenges develop patience in us, strengthen our character, purify our faith, and usher us into living a complete life in Christ. Without challenges, there would be no growth, and without challenges, there would be nothing to overcome.

Our challenges are our invitation to live out our true identity as being more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus. Our challenges grant us the opportunity to bring heaven to earth, first in us and then through us.

So when we conquer a challenge and then another challenge presents itself, know this: You're being strengthened and being used by God to establish His Kingdom here on earth. With this revelation intact we can count the cost of the situation as all joy because that testing of our faith is guaranteeing a better version of us in Christ Jesus in the future.

Prayer: Lord, show me how to live in joy as You build me up in You and use my life to destroy the work of the enemy and establish Your Kingdom here on earth.
