Psalm 23:4 NLT\n\n"We walk by faith, not by sight." 2Corinthians 5:7 NKJV\n\n\u201cThis letter is from James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. I am writing \nto the \u2018twelve tribes\u2019\u2014Jewish believers scattered abroad. Greetings!\u2019 James 1:1\n\nTHINGS WE\u2019VE LEARNED\n\n1: Not everything we hear is true\n\n\u201cThe gullible believe anything they\u2019re told; the prudent sift and weigh every word.\u201d Proverbs 14:15 msg\n\nDo not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God\u2019s will is\u2014His good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2\n\n2: This too will pass\n\n\u201cDear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.\u201d 1Peter 4:12\n\n\u201cThe earth suffers for the sins of its people, for they have twisted God\u2019s instructions, violated His laws, and broken His everlasting covenant.\u201d Isaiah 24:5\n\n3: Focus on what's unchanging\n\n\u201cFor our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.\u201d 2Corinthians 4:17-18\n\n`\t4: God will go through it with me\n\n\u201cDo not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

He will live with them, and they will be His people. God himself will be with them. 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.\u2019\u201d Revelation 21:3-4\n\n6: God wants to use me to help others\n\nLet\u2019s Pray:\n\t-What is God\u2019s Spirit saying to you today?\n\t-How must you respond?
