Struggles Are Blessings Scripture Writing/Reading Plan August 2023

This month our Scripture writing/reading plan is all about learning that struggles in our lives are perfect blessings from God! Struggles can seem very difficult when we are experiencing them, but we can always rest assured knowing that God always works all things out for the good of His children! (Romans 8:28) God always knows exactly what we need in each moment of our lives, even when we do not, and we can always rejoice in the Lord knowing that He will always bless us with exactly what we need in each and every moment of our lives! God blesses us with struggles to mature us and shape us even further into the children of God that He has created us to be! God is in control of all things and He is always working everything out for our good! Let us not become discouraged when we experience a difficult time in our lives, but rather let us rejoice in the Lord and praise Him that we bear His name! (1 Peter 4:16) Let us be faithful in committing ourselves to God and continuing to live each moment of our lives for Him! (1 Peter 4:19) God is faithful even when we are not! God has a perfect plan for our lives and His plans are always to bless us with exactly what we need according to His will! (Jeremiah 29:11)

As children of God, who believe in Jesus, we have Jesus living in our inner being and in Him we have everything that we need to live a life that glorifies God! (Ephesians 1:3) It is God who works in us to do His will and glorify Him! (Philippians 2:13) All of the good in us is Christ in us and since the good in us is Christ in us, the good in us will never cease or fail! We have not a thing to worry about! God is in control of all things and Jesus lives in our inner being! As God’s precious dearly loved children we can always know that God will always work everything out for our good! Let us humble ourselves before the Lord our God and submit ourselves and our burdens to Him! God daily bears our burdens (Psalm 68:19) and when we have Jesus living in our inner being, we have no true burdens at all! In Jesus, we have been eternally set free from all sin and death and we have received eternal life in Him! Jesus loves us and He gave Himself for us to reconcile us to God by the shedding of His blood for us! We not only have the guarantee of a blessed life here on earth but we also have the guarantee of a blessed eternal life in our Savior, Jesus, who now lives in our inner being! Jesus is our life! We have not a thing to fear! Do not get discouraged! This is not our home, we are looking forward to an eternal home in Heaven with our Savior, Jesus! God will continue to bless you with exactly what you need in each moment of your life! God is currently shaping you even further into the child of God that He has created you to be in Him! Don’t think of this as a struggle but rather a blessing from God who is in control of all things and who is blessing you perfectly each and every step of the way! You will come out of this struggle even more mature in your faith and better prepared for the blessed eternal life to which God has called you in your Savior, Jesus! Enjoy spending time in the Word of God learning to recognize struggles as blessings that have been perfectly designed for you and your sanctification in Jesus!
