Finding God's Nature in Difficulty
What if every difficult circumstance in your life is actually God's invitation to discover a specific aspect of His character? On today’s episode, Graham Cooke explores a stunning truth: God has allocated a particular Fruit of the Spirit to all negative experiences — meaning love is present with enemies, joy is constant in trials, and peace is already waiting in challenging situations.
Key Scriptures:
+ Matthew 5:44. But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
+ Romans 12:20. But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.
+ James 1:2. Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials.
+ John 16:33. These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.
+ John 14:27. Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.
+ 2 Thessalonians 3:16. Now may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every circumstance.
+ Hebrews 10:24. And let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds.
