Greetings:
Have you ever felt weak, rundown and tired in your faith?
Can a person be weak and still be strong?
Those two questions are answered by the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 where he writes: “Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”
I don't have the answer to why bad things happen to seemingly good people, but they do.
The problems in our life are often blessings in disguise. We must learn to view them from this spiritual point of view.
The greater the burden placed upon us, the greater the faith required to “hang-in-there.”
It takes faith to continue living for God when things turn for the worse in our life. It's easy to be happy and praises God when everything is going great, but the true test is to continue your walk and increase your faith in a time of trouble or burden.
A popular athletic locker room motivational slogan is “No pain, no gain.” That could be our Christian slogan as well.
Exercising of our faith and the trials that go with it will make us more mature and stable in the Lord if we will be patient and not give up.
I don't know of one Christian who is invincible. We do get knocked down.
The key is to always get back up off the ground, brush the dust off, and do what you can to get back on track for God.
Proverb 24:16 (NLT) says: “The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.”
Remember, unshakable faith comes from having your faith shaken.
Be blessed.
