Colossians 1:11

Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

• Strength
• Endurance
• Patience
• Joy
• God

Have you ever struggled with feeling impatient? If your answer is yes, you’re pretty much like the rest of humanity. Everyone struggles with patience, especially when it comes to tough times in life. Often, we just wish that our tough times were over as soon as possible. However, the Bible teaches something different.
The Bible teaches that we should have joy in our trials. Even when we encounter long suffering, the Bible says that we should have joy. The question is: how can we have joy in the midst of suffering? Don’t worry; the Bible gives us an answer to that, too.
As said in Colossians 1:11, the answer to finding joy in suffering is to be strengthened with all might, according to God’s glorious power. Note that it didn’t say, “according to your power.” We aren’t meant to trust in our power. Instead, we should trust in God’s power and lean on Him in the midst of our longsuffering.
If you find yourself in a trial or in a difficult situation in your life, don’t lean on your own power. Instead, lean on God’s power and embrace His strength in your daily walk with Christ.
