If some of those joys are not directed to us specifically, they are nonetheless truths throughout Genesis to Revelation - but we must be able to rightly divided the entire Bible to make sure that some things that are specifically directed to other folks than ourselves and are then not brought in to our own basket if they do not belong there.

• Romans 8:18 - For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
• What's a little temptation, anyway? /  There are NO special testings for Christians!  I Corinthians 10:13 - There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.  God does not single us out for some special trial other than His work in our lives!
• Hour of temptation - Revelation 3:10 - Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.  (still only a trial as described in 3:18 - the punishment comes during the tribulation!  Revelation 6:17 - For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
• The trials are what we MUST go through today - Revelation 3:18 - I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
• Light affliction - II Corinthians 4:16-18 - For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.  For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, (See James 4:14) worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

• Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ:

• Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
• All that happens to me is for good!  The BOOK will show me how - and will strengthen me through it all!  Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
• II Timothy 2:15 - Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

• II Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
• Our bad works will burn!  I Corinthians 3:12-15; II Corinthians 5:10; Romans 14:10-12

• Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

• II Timothy 2:13  If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself
• I Corinthians 1:9 - God is faithful!
• II Thessalonians 3:3 - His word is faithful - le'ts hold fast his faithful word.

• 1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

• Colossians 1:12-13 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
• Ephesians 6:11-13 - Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
• Colossians 2:15 - And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
