We all will go through tough times. Some people may go through more, longer trials, but we all will be faced with some type of trial or tribulation. Getting saved and having a personal relationship with God does gurantee an easy life. These tribulations are used to strengethen us, help us to lean on God when we are in need of help (Psalms 37:24; Nahum 1:7). Through all the hard times, we need to keep God in the forefront of our lives.
It is easy to allow circumstances to control you, but we need to let God control our circumstances. Make the decisions His way. Proverbs 3:5,6 tells us that we need to trust the Lord, acknowledge him in all our ways and He shall direct our paths. There is no but or a contingency statement. If we do those things every day, then God will direct us in all aspects of our lives. John 16:33 says, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” Nothing we go through is beyond God's power. Stay in God and "thou shalt forget [thy] misery, [and] remember [it] as waters [that] pass away:" (Job 11:16).

A friend once told me, it is not the situations of life that hurts us but how we react to those situations that hurts us.
ReplyDeleteThat makes a lot of sense, thank you.
