“Difficulty Happens” By Kirk Hunt
For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead
2 Corinthians 1:8-9 NKJV
Sooner or later, all Christians face difficulty. An unpleasant crisis could crash into your life. A loss could rob your world. Basic daily life and work could become a heavy burden.
It hurts. It seems no one understands your situation or pain. It may even be that others seek a blessing from you at the center of your crisis.
God can use your situation for good. It is at this place of trial and grief that you stop relying on yourself. It is here that you learn to rely on God.
Paul suffered a series of painful and crushing hardships. Despite his fortitude, eventually even he found the limit of regular folk. Sound familiar?
At that place of exhaustion and emptiness, Paul looked up. Jesus, in all His glory, stood ready to carry him the distance. Paul felt dead inside, but God’s Power poured in life.
Whatever you are facing today, know that you are not alone. He wants to bless you with strength and power beyond your wildest dreams. Turn to Him. Let Him restore your life.
Think: Difficulty is a place for God’s restoration.
Pray: “Lord, thank You for carrying me through the hard places.”
