Do you believe that the Lord will bring fruit in your life through affliction?
Today, I'm getting passionate on the podcast as I preach the truth to myself - and you all get to listen. I briefly examine two specific examples in the lives of Leah and Joseph. Both afflicted, though in different ways, they experienced how the Lord saw their suffering and eventually answered them in the midst of it. They both came to a place where they could praise the Lord and bless Him for the affliction they walked through because it bore fruit.
Can we and will we do the same? That's my challenge to you and to myself today: as we walk through suffering, will we trust the character of God who has proven Himself to us again and again? Or will we depend on our own emotions, what we see, and how we feel?
