I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me. - Philippians 4:12-13 ESV Adversity comes in all shapes and sizes, and it has many names: failure, tragedy, difficulty, obstacle, setback, crisis, or suffering. Regardless of what you call it, adversity plays no favorites and may strike with equal vengeance upon your business, your marriage, your health, your family, or any other corner of your life. Think about this; What if the biggest problem you are now facing might be exactly what you need to chisel your character so that you become perfectly prepared to follow God’s path for your life? As you deal with trials, look for the lesson, the wisdom, the opportunity, or any other blessing that could transform the entire situation into something productive and valuable. I tell myself these kinds of things (truths) even when I doubt them and feel like delving into self-pity. We must all decide where we find our strength.
