Counting Them Happy
"Take ... the ... prophets for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience ... we count them happy which endure," Ja. 5 10-11.
Satan has used this passage to rob us of a victorious life. Any happiness you see is likely just a cover.
It is often thought we're to patiently endure whatever horrible things that come our way, to be victims of our circumstance. The only blessings we expect to see are in the life to come.
Occasionally, I've heard well intended Christians say, "We're never going to get through the trials of this life until we get to Heaven."
I have this urge to respond, "Don't say that! IT ISN'T TRUE!" But, I also understand that they wouldn't say it except they don't know.
The prophets weren't victims. They suffered more because they went through all the issues of the inner man so they could come back and teach the people how to overcome. And, they did so holding on to the
promises of God!
You can bet that, in each victorious adventure taken, the prophets were happy when all was said and done - in awe of what God had done for them. They believed God when He said we could be overcomers ... not only in the next life, but in this life, too. And, they weren't disappointed.
The prophets suffered and endured (stayed the course), not because they liked it but, because they liked the end result. The end result is where they found happiness.
