ADVERSITY
Welcome! Blessings!!!
Adversity is God’s missionary. Receive its mission; embrace its vision. Don’t send it away or wish it away before its work is done. But share in the rewards of its labor. Do not bid it stay beyond its visit to be the guest of honor at your pity party but permit it to go according to God’s timing and purpose. Do not hinder it from doing God’s will. Fret not: it shall be obedient to God and accomplish only His will. It shall not cause you any loss or harm. Be at peace with it and God, our Maker. Amen.
…the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity… 2 Samuel 4:9
Adversity that comes will never worry nor distress me;
Because it only has the power to enhance and bless me.
Adversity’s a trusted servant sent from God above
To demonstrate His power and to minister His love.
It does not happen on its own but moves at God’s command;
It’s synchronized by God and fully yielded to His hand.
God causes it to do what it would normally not do;
And to God’s will and purpose, it’s always steadfast and true.
Just think of what a blessing that my life would always be,
If I’d just be a faithful servant, like adversity!
If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. Proverbs 24:10
Be Unduly Encouraged!
