Friends, when life gets really difficult, don’t jump to the conclusion that God isn’t on the job. Instead, be glad that you are in the very thick of what Christ experienced. This is a spiritual refining process, with glory just around the corner.
We all feel the pressure and trials of life. No one escapes them. The difference is, do we hold on to Christ and His word or do we crumble? I have done it both ways in my life, I am sure we all have. We can't always change events or circumstances but what I have found is that we can change our perspective. I can keep my hands lifted in praise, I can keep words of thankfulness on my lips. We can always rejoice in our Saviour and trust that He will always work all things together for good. We can be thankful that through the darkness and trials He draws us to Himself. He is doing a work in our hearts to change us to be more reflective of Him. Trust His faithfulness today. Hold tightly to His hand no matter what you are going through!
