It's not the Assyrians.Nor, is it cancer, divorce, unemployment or errant children.
When we face difficulties we wonder if the difficulty itself will destroy us. The problem with this is, not only is it untrue, but...it takes our attention away from the truth.
God has never had an intention of destroying us. His discipline is meant only to restore and strengthen us. He will never send trouble that cannot accomplish this purpose.
So, don't be afraid...
Rather, in the face of adversity, we should ask ourselves "what is the purpose and meaning of this?" This allows us to focus behind the trouble and examine the cause.
Thomas Edison once said "I've never failed. I've only found a thousand ways that don't work!" Think about it. If we can learn the purpose of the struggle...and the reason why God allows it...we may learn lessons sufficient to ensure we don't have to endure that one again.
That's a good thing...
Live boldly out there today...
