think on these things

you can get me down why don't you set me free? "Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed" (John 20:29). Likewise, I also believe we are blessed when we must constantly battle these temptations, trials, tests, and tribulations. It is God working in us, growing us. What kind of Christian would we be if everything was easy for us? Where then would be our growth? "My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing" (James 1:2-4). Think on these things.
