Facing Tough Times

From: Bryant Wright Ministries

 

2 Corinthians 12:9 "...but He has told me, 'My grace is all you need, because My power is perfected in weakness.' Therefore, I will most happily boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me."

 

When reminded that God does not give us any burdens we cannot handle, Mother Teresa replied, "I know, but sometimes I just wish He didn't think so highly of me." While it’s true that tough times can challenge us and shape character, most of us would prefer that God would find another teaching method!

Sometimes God allows us to go through hard times so that we can learn to truly trust Him. You see, when we do choose to trust God – even when there is no concrete evidence of His presence - we demonstrate real faith. And that faith is not only demonstrated to God, it is a powerful witness to everyone who sees what you have gone through.

So, when facing tough times, recognize the opportunity you have to build trust in God, deepen your faith, and become a powerful witness for your Heavenly Father.
