Romans 5:2-4 (Amplified Bible)

²Through Him also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God.³Moreover let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance. ⁴And endurance develops maturity of character. And character produces joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation.

Reflections:

I often mention being Holy Spirit taught and Holy Spirit wrought. Let�s take a look at being Holy Spirit wrought.

The word wrought means 1. to be formed, fashioned, 2. Shaped by hammering or beating like a metal, 3. Elaborated with care, 4. Decorated; ornamented wrought iron.

To be wrought means to take a raw material and work it into something durable and or beautiful. To be �Spirit wrought� means that the Holy Spirit takes us, as new believers, through some very tough spiritual training sessions. The tools He uses are life experiences, and mostly the more painful ones. He does this so that we might endure the advanced spiritual warfare that is sure to follow. We must become trained in:

His word (2 Tim 2:15; 3:16-17).

The use of all the spiritual armor (Eph 6:10-18).

Loving with God�s heart (Rom 5:5; 1 Cor 13).

None of this come easy. Perhaps this is why in Rom 8:28 we read, �And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.� And in 1 Thess5:18 we read, �In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.�

You might think you�re taking a beating, but smile, your just being �Spirit Wrought� � J!
