Adversity

Adversity is a hard pill to swallow expecially if it last for years without any sign of relief in sight.  What to do with adversity?  We are born into adversity as the sparks fly upward.  So the Bible tells us we are going to go through a lot of bad ties in our life time.  How are we going to react when tough times come.?

Do we give up and kill ourselves and never fulfill the plan God has for our life?  Are we going to let it get the best of us and say this is my lot in life?  It will never be any better.  There is no way out, I'm stuck here forever.  There is an end an appointed time for trouble to end.  Satan will whisper his lies and tell you it will never change. 
God has placed in each heart a dream.  Satan will work on you night and day to get you to give up on your dream.  Fulfillling your dream will bring joy to you and glory to God.  Don't say bad things will always happen to me.  I can't win, others can I can't.  God wants the best for you.

Joseph learned how to handle adversity.  Sold as a slave into Potipher's house and made ruler over everything.  A position that was a dream job, until it turns nightmare, when Potipher's wife desires Joseph to sleep with her.  She lies on Joseph and off to jail he goes. 

It took years to get Joseph to rule in Egypt. Through adversity God brought out the best and matured Joseph.

What will God do for you if you endure?

We wait for my Son to be healed.  We keep looking up from whence comes our srrength.  Yesterday, the doctor's talked about ICU.  His blood pressure is dangerously low.  He still is not eating or drinking.
