Learning How To Rest In The Promises Of God and How Not To Get Caught Up In The Problems Of Life

What happens next is up to you.   Will you be frustrated and discouraged or will you walk in hope, faith, trust, and love?    It's easy to quit and give up.   The thing is, when you quit and give up, you don't have to face adversity.   The word adversity is defined as trouble, difficulty, hardship, and distress.    Life will bring with it trouble.   It will bring with it difficulty.   It will bring with it hardship and it will bring with it distress.   The question is, how are you handling all of those things?   

How do you handle the situations in your life that are not working out the way you want them to work out?   Are you giving up?   Are you quitting?   Or are you trusting that God will work it all together for your good.    It's hard sometimes to believe that the bad things that are happening in our lives can be used for our good.   When we are in the midst of pain and suffering, that's what we see and that's what we feel.   We see the hardship and we see the difficulties.   We have to learn how to refocus and see our God in the midst of the hardship and in the midst of every difficulty we encounter in life.

When you think about what you are going to do next.  Think about how good God is.   Think about His power and His ability.   Think about the fact that you are not alone.   Think about what God said and know that He will honor His Word in your life.    Learn how to rest in the promises of God and how not to get caught up in the problems of life.

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
