HOW DO YOU HANDLE ADVERSITY?

*How Do You Handle Adversity?

*You have to get the grasp of the reality of sin.  For sin

is destructive.  Sin is also poison and you get sick or

die from poison. Adversity is a direct result of human sin.

*You have to get a grasp of the importance of faith.  If you

put your faith and trust in God, it will grow, (II Corinthians 1:10).

Faith in God helps you to deal with the adversity of sin,

(II Corinthians 12:7-10).

* You have to grasp the priority of character in your life

not comfort.  Adversity gives you patience, mercy, hope

and goodness, (Romans 5:3-5).  God is concern about

your character growing.  Overcome evil for good.

*You have to grasp the goodness of God’s character and

His alternate solution.  God can take the worse adversity

in your life and change it to goodness.  He can wipe out all

suffering.  God is good.

*You have to learn to live with mystery.  You will not be able

to understand God unless He chooses to reveal it to you.

Even when you don’t see God’s hand in the adversity you are

facing you know His heart.  God will bless you to live with

humility of unanswered questions.
