Have you made adversity the main chapter or a footnote in your life?
Adversity is something every human being goes through at some point in life. A lot of us in the midst of prosperity think that we are self-sufficient. Adversity helps us to realize how much we depend on Him.
How we react to and treat adversity is a different matter though. Some people let it weigh them down and some know it's a passing phase and with the promise of divine help they will get through it. Some give up on God, on the other hand for some it is a strengthening of faith and an opportunity for a deeper relationship with God, friends and family.
How we react to adversity really defines who we are and our relationship with God. With the power and presence of Jesus in our lives, we are called to endure and thus shine the light of Christ in a dark world. we can choose to make adversity the very center of our life and rave and rant and cry, thereby reducing another's faith, or we can choose to smile our way through, trusting in and standing on the promises of God. When we do that, we actually encourage another person's faith. We let through the peace of God and let it show to everyone.
So: The question is are we relating to adversity in a Biblical way? Do we treat adversity as a footnote in our lives?
