Thursday - Gratitude in Suffering
Romans 3:3-5 – “And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”
One of the most challenging aspects of gratitude is maintaining it during times of suffering. Today's reading encourages us to rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that they produce perseverance, character, and hope. This echoes the Sunday’s sermon about giving thanks in everything, even the difficult times. Reflect on a current challenge in your life. How might God be using this to strengthen your faith? Can you find reasons to be grateful even in this situation? Remember, gratitude in suffering isn't about denying pain, but about trusting in God's larger purpose and presence through it all.
