Adversity.

No one wants adversity in their life, yet trouble seems to find us eventually. As a Christian I have found that you can let adversity move you towards good, or you can let it disable you from doing anything at all.

The takeaway is to not let it define you. Adversity is just a footnote in life’s journey. It’s a small part of our final destination as Christians. I have had my fair share of hardship through the years and as a matter of fact am currently going through some hard stuff.

My point is I refuse to sit and dwell on what’s not going right in my life and focus on all the good that I have. You see, the devil wants us to put the focus on the bad so that we eventually think we’re the cause of all this.

Life is good even through the pain and sorrow of what’s going on around me. God has been so good to me and I give Him the praise everyday for every breath I take.

Whatever you're facing, whatever you haven't told the people you love, whatever you're worrying about or struggling with, there's nothing that we've done, or has been done to us, that with God's power and grace, we can't stomp the head of the adversary and say no more.

God’s got this. He always has.

1 Corinthians 10:13 -  “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.”
