Bible Question: Can someone please explain this scripture a little more? I get the basic meaning but am looking for more understanding. |
Bible Answer: Hi leonore, Please also see rom 8:28, and James 1:2-4. When we go through trials and hang in there knowing God is in control and seeking his leading we develop inner strength based on what God can do. We learn to trust him. When we are strengthened by this method we say, wow the rest of lifes problems are small stuff for God, so our outlook on life brightens, that's hope. God bless, tortoise |
