When we think of the ideal way to live our lives, we often think that an easy, carefree life would definitely be best. A life with no challenges or problems, where we can be free to do whatever we want. Well, what if I told you that challenges are a good thing? Challenges force us out of our comfort zones and allow us to achieve things in life we didn’t know we could. Proverbs 24:10 says, “If you faint in the day of adversity, how small is your strength?”. This may come across as slightly harsh at first reading. However, we must remember the purpose God has for us in our lives. He wants us to overcome our earthly temptations and struggles through the heavenly guidance and strength he gives us. He wants his Holy Spirit to be all the strength we need to solve any problem we may experience. Challenges in life aren’t just about building our strength and character; they are about experiencing God’s power. The next time you face a challenge in your life, remember this proverb and ask God to replace your small strength with His infinite power. Open Bible – https://bit.ly/Pro24v10 (Jean-Luc H)
