Adversity

A situation arose this week that causes me a great deal of concern. But you know what? If adversity drives us to our knees in fervent prayer, if difficulties draw us closer to our Lord and cause others to be encouraged and inspired by our testimony of God's goodness in the face of hardship, how long will the enemy choose to persist in trying those strategies when he sees they clearly don't have the effect he had in mind? We may get worn down, but even then Jesus is our strength; His strength is made perfect in our weakness, so in any event, as long as we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, God wins. Circumstances happen, but in Him, we are more than conquerors.
