*DAILY DEW 6TH/DECEMBER/2021* *CHOOSE YOUR PAIN* _Key Bible Text:_ *Keep your eyes on [Jesus], who both began and finished this race we're in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed--that exhilarating finish in and with God--he could put up with anything along the way: cross, shame, whatever. And now he's [there], in the place of honor, right alongside God.* (Hebrews 12:2 (AMP)) _Bible Insight:_ I must thank my Pastor, K. C. Onyegbuna whose words kept repeating in my heart as I thought about this topic-- choose your pain! Face this fact of life, you can't run away from pain in life completely. The rich, the poor, the educated, the illiterate, the middle class, the classless class, etc are all subject to pass through pain at certain points in life. Life is never painless. In fact, pains are the building blocks of life. Yes. Job 14:1 (KJV) says, *"Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble."* Indeed, trouble and pain are the twins of life. As much as we dislike them, they hold the key to greatness in life. #Selah In as much as pain is inseparable from life, we can choose which or what kind of pain we must endure. God has given us the power of choice. A man who does not face the pain of discipline, hard work and some measure of stress, will definitely face the pain of regret and poverty. Hence we must choose to go through pain deliberately and voluntarily, so that we don't go through pain forcefully. Jesus did exactly that. He chose to suffer the cross, shame and pain because he was poised for the crown of glory ahead of him. If Jesus did not escape pain, no one can. The best we can do like Jesus, is to choose what kind of pain we must endure. _MEDITATION:_ *In order to have great happiness you have to have great pain and unhappiness - otherwise how would you know when you're happy?* - Leslie Caron *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Monday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Supernatural_Supplies_Month* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#HTP2021_Loading* *#Hello_December* ❤ Links To Visit: Register for *HTP2021:* https://bit.ly/HTP2021_Registration *Podcast:* https://anchor.fm/daily-dew-devotional *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *DDDblog* http://dailydewdevotion.blogspot.com/2021/12/choose-your-pain.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.
