Thanking God Through the Fire

James 1:2–4 (ESV) Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

BE THANKFUL IN THE SUNSHINE!

1 Chronicles 16:34 (ESV) Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!

BE THANKFUL IN THE STORM!

Isaiah 41:10 (ESV) fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

BE THANKFUL THROUGH THE FIRE!

1 Peter 4:12–13 (ESV) Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.
