FAITH IN ADVERSITY
II Corinthians 4:8-10
"We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed – always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus Christ, that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our body."
Every life has its challenges. Nobody is exempt from problems; into every life rain must fall. Faith in Christ does not eliminate the pain, but it does give hope because Jesus is with us, and we are not crushed, in despair, forsaken, or destroyed. God has a plan and a purpose. How a person handles adversity can be a powerful testimony of the power of Christ. When disaster strikes – as a tornado or hurricane, the reporters interview people. Some dissolve in tears because they have lost everything, while others give thanks to God, and vow to rebuild. My own heart is encouraged when I see people go through trials demonstrating faith in God. Lord Jesus, help me to be that kind of witness.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: Adversity gives opportunity to manifest the life of Jesus in us.

Have a faith day. Love you.
