Advancing Through Adversity
"In God, whose word I praise, In God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere man do to me?” — Psalm 56:4
It’s impossible to live in this world without facing moments of uncertainty, doubt, confusion and fear. Scripture doesn’t dismiss these concerns; instead, it helps us through them. While God’s Word is truthful about the adversity we all face, it promises that we have a Helper who will never leave or forsake us. That means the right response to trials is to tell God our fears and concerns, and then walk through them in faith, trusting that He will work the situation out for His glory and our good. God alone is sovereign in the universe, and He desires to be recognized as sovereign in our personal life as well. We can put our faith and trust in Him even during the difficult circumstances we find ourselves in, reminding ourselves of His promise to work on our behalf. (Phil. 2:13)
