God speaks today Thursday | June 5, 2025

I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. (Psalm 40:1)
Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. (James 5:10)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

When we go through trials we end up stronger than ever in our faith

James teaches that those who suffer are blessed and should have patience, as trials can lead to a deeper understanding of God. Job is used as an example, as he came out of his test with a renewed perspective of God. Other biblical characters, such as Moses, Elijah, Daniel, and Esther, also went through trials but were brought out with victory and a strengthened faith. The end result of tests is positive and can lead to a new song, renewed ministry, and a settled relationship with God. Read more...

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. (Psalm 37:7)
