There are situations in our life that produce trials and we have to find God over them, find joy in them, and find wisdom to get through them.
In difficult situations you will either allow yourself to fall into temptation and fall short during the test or you’ll let the test be a trial that proves your faith.
Joy is a byproduct of believing the promises of God in the midst of great pain.
Our first response in difficult situations is usually an emotional or physical reaction when our first response needs to be prayer.
As we endure through difficult situations we’ll see those trials become a blessing and we’ll see that what we worried over we can worship God for.
When the trial is strongest the temptation is deepest. Stay grounded in God's word and seek HIm for wisdom.
Don’t just look at the word for more information, allow the word to produce transformation in your life.
Our life should reflect the righteousness of God that he has placed on us. Even in the middle of difficult situations.
Reflect or meet with someone to discuss:
How have the difficult situations you've faced in life helped you to grow in your faith?
In what ways do difficult situations stir desires in you to do things against the will of God? How do you fight against those?
How have your emotions made difficult situations worse? What do you do to combat that?
