Today we will look at the hard part of submitting to God. Read Hebrews 12: 1-15
When we have trials and tribulations it comes with added stress and sometimes, we carry this with us without knowing or understanding how it is affecting us because we are on the inside looking out. Others may see the impact because they are on the outside looking in. in the same way it is difficult to move around or do the activities that we are accustomed to doing when you were a few pounds lighter it is harder to make the right decisions when we are carrying all these weights of trials that you experience on a daily basis.
By submitting to God, we open the door for greater blessings knowing that we persevered and chose to forgive and remove the anger and resentment and negative thoughts for joy.
Today's lesson talks about not focusing on what we are giving up but on what we are getting. The peaceful fruit of righteousness will be worth all that suffering.
