Hardships

Some people only know hardship when it knocks on their door. Some people know hardships when they see otheres are in hardships. Some people know of hardships at when their friends talk about it in school or at work.

I know of hardships from many hands and perspective, but it all comes down to one thing, everyone goes through hardships. Hardships don't skip one and goes to another, hardship goes and knock at many doors.

The devil goes around with all his demon followers to cause hardships in all our lives. But what the devil doesn't know, is that God uses these hardships as ways to purify us rather than destroy and decimate us.

Like a goldsmith puts gold through a furnace to burn away all impurities and make it pure, God puts us through all theses pot-holes and barriers to take away all impurities and make us pure, and after all these hardships we will become more precious than gold and diamonds, we become priceless.

The term used for hardships in the Bible is Trials and Tribulations. In James 1:2,3, it says, Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.(NIV) So take Joy in whatever hardships.

Friends, in Psalms 59:16, it says, But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love, for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.(NIV) My brothers and sisters, remember that when you are in times of trouble, place your trust in God and take refuge in Him.

Going Through Hardships With You,
