Divine Difficulties

Each trial we face with Jesus help, choosing to walk with Him through and in it, shapes us closer to his image. Trials are "Divine Difficulties", blessings actually, that He uses to chip away at our old, sinful nature and leave us more and more in His image...If We Walk With Him! It is our choice how we face trials and how we allow them to affect us. They can make us more of a heavenly creature or more of a hellish creature (as C. S. Lewis stated so eloquently). Each day is not stagnant or stationary. It is moving us closer to one or the other. It is FREE WILL/ our choice! Choose wisely and set your mind on Christ. Look for the blessings in and that will come out of trials. See them as opportunities for growth. I'm not saying that it is easy. It is a difficult and deliberate choice we make each day, but the rewards are priceless. Trust that He is good and able to do more than we can see or imagine. (2 Corinthians 4:16-17) Don't focus on the problems, focus on Him. When anxiety and fear creep in and wedge its way into your mind, speak words of truth and praise. Remember it is safer to be in His hands and His will than anywhere else. Don't be afraid to trust in Him. Nothing is impossible with God! (Luke 1:37) (Ephesians 3:20-21).
