trials

"Thank Me when things do not go your way, because spiritual blessings come wrapped in trials. Adverse circumstances are normal in a fallen world . Expect them each day. Rejoice in the face of hardship, for I have overcome the world." Jesus Calling by Sarah Young

James 1:2 Consider it all joy my brethren when you encounter various trials.

*****

It's usually easy to look back and see how God had been at work in your life when you were going through a difficult time. It is not so easy to see His hand when you are in the midst of the difficult time. That is when we need faith. Knowing what God's word says (that He is with us and for us and working all things for good) and staying close to Jesus will help us overcome any adversity.
