Ecclesiastes 7:14
Adversity can be our greatest motivation for growth or our deadliest source of discouragement.
The difference lies in our understanding of God’s purpose.
How we respond to adversity determines whether it works for good or evil in our lives.
- God could have kept Daniel out of the lions’ den, but He did not.
- He could have kept Paul and Silas out of jail, but He did not.
- He could have kept the three Hebrew children out of the fiery furnace, but He did not.
Some lessons in life can only be learned during days of adversity and not during days of prosperity.
Faith and courage will surely sustain you in times of adversity.
Be strong and courageous, and face the future with God’s mercy and help.
