Day 4 - Consider It

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds." James 1:2

Thought of the Day: Triumph in this choice will produce a blessing.

Today she pointed out that in today's verse we may not feel great joy in the middle of trials, but "we have to consider it."  It is a choice...period.  I will be honest in the middle of trials big or small I'm not always considering the joy.  I'm thinking what have I done to put myself in this situation?  What is God teaching me? How do I keep from get in this situation again?  How long will this last?  I do take comfort that whatever my trial or situation is, God wasn't surprised and He has a plan.  Good, better, best keeps running through my head!!!!  I want to have the self - control to make the better, best choice in any trial, not just with food.

Today's Prayer: Dear Lord, please help me when I feel tempted today.  Triumph in the this trial matters to me, and I desire to persevere with Your guidance.  Help me to consider the joy and choose the better option.  In Jesus' name. Amen.
