Acceptance - Divine Moments for Women

Acceptance

My Question for God

How can I accept the difficulties that come into my life?

A Moment with God

Job replied, “You talk like a foolish woman. Should we accept only good things from the hand of God and never anything bad?”

Job 2:10

To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God.

Ecclesiastes 5:19

You suffered along with those who were thrown into jail, and when all you owned was taken from you, you accepted it with joy. You knew there were better things waiting for you that will last forever.

Hebrews 10:34

You live in a fallen world. God told his followers to have realistic expectations about the world and to prepare for troubles that will come. Although you have hints of your glorious future in heaven, right now you live amid the continuing trials of life on earth. Accepting circumstances doesn’t mean you have to like them. By keeping eternity in mind, you can grow from the difficulties you experience now, knowing that those difficulties will end with this earthly life. When you accept what comes from God’s hand, you can trust that he has something to teach you through whatever comes your way.

Divine Promise

What we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. . . . And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us.

Romans 8:18, 23
