Sufferings

It's Spring Break time and I'm here at Myrtle Beach in South Carolina and this morning I got up early and watched and listened. Reading God's Word while the waves crash against the beach simultaneously is awesome. There's nothing like spending some quality time early in the morning. But I wish I could have this desire all the time.

As you can see, over the past couple of weeks I haven't been posting partly because I haven't been reading. I've been struggling with my desire to read. I know my walk with the Lord should not be reflected by my emotions or if I feel like reading, but I've had the desire ripped out of me for some reason. I've been trying to get back my desire to seek the Lord earnestly, but it seems to come and goes some days. But I feel like this week will be beneficial to my walk.

Here's a verse that I read this morning that spoke to me this morning, especially since I've been struggling. Hope it speaks to you like it spoke to me.

Romans 5:1-5

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

Have a great day!
