Psalm 16:11

"You make known to me the path of life;

in your presence there is fullness of joy;

at your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

I cannot read this verse without crying. God wants good things for us. We must come to him with teachable heart. Life is so different than what we want... but it is what God wants for us because He wants good things for us... and those good things are often found on the other side of trials... and in the midst of trials. We are studying James now. This book is full of teaching on trials, their purpose, and God's purpose for trials. Read it if you are going though a trial, and be encouraged, read it for a friend who is going through a trial, and encourage them.

But above all, remember...

At God's right hand are pleasures forevermore.
