Trials and Triumphs

it's the last Sunday of the year known as 2010 and i hope next Sunday a new year together we'll begin as humans we have a habit of looking back over the past year to hopefully gain a better understanding of all that occured back there there's nothing wrong with reviewing last year's trials and tribulations maybe next year we'll have a solution to better handle those situations in 2010 we made some resolutions and we set some goals but did we overcome our challenges or did we lose control? over our aches and pains, our difficulties, our struggles and our strife our bouts of frustration, our complications, just trying to live life we had some trials in 2010 of which we wish we could redo but we need to remember all the triumphs that somehow got us through we might not have had a lot of money but somehow the bills got paid we might have fell into some choppy waters but somehow we learned to wade we had some illness, we had some issues and we all had some strain but by the grace of God we triumphed and somehow still stayed sane in the book of Hebrews a group of people had some trials and tribulations and when they accepted Christ they came into a godly situation they took that walk with God, they took that leap of faith and came to realize that when one's in Christ the devil will be in your face as its not all peaches and cream whenever a person commits to God there will be trials and tribulations just keep a prayerful heart there will be those whom you thought cared about and supported you who may become your biggest detractors and stomp all over you but you need to understand that the enemy will have you under attack just keep your eyes on God and stay on the right spiritual track as all things are possible with God for He's in complete control God is God all by Himself and you need to understand that your role is to trust in Him, believe in Him for through you He gets all the glory so let your trials and triumphs be a testimony and inspiring story for you can't have a testimony without having being tested and there is no triumph without a trial you have bested you came through some fires and you survived some floods and all of it was by the grace of God and the power of the blood you triumphed over death and today you're still alive you triumphed over the devil no matter how hard he strived you made it through 2010 standing on the promises of Christ you had your trials, you had your triumphs and above all you still have life
