Monday, January 18th. Today's cherished Nugget from guest blogger Pastor Bill.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “The sentence which has most influenced my life is ‘Some persons grumble because God placed thorns among roses.' Why not thank God because He placed roses among thorns?"

God does not remove all the challenges and temptations, but He will carry us through the trials. The writer of 1 Corinthians 10:13 puts it this way:

“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”

"God, Thank You for the beauty You give us daily even in the middle of all of our trials.
Amen."

Give God Glory!
