WHEN THE HARD TIMES OF LIFE HIT

TRUST IN GOD’S PROMISES TO BRING YOU OUT OF THEM!

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all. Psalm 34:19

It has been said that God had only one Son without sin, but he has no sons without suffering. Just as Jesus suffered, the Scripture promises that you and I will suffer affliction as part of living the Christian life.

There are times when you may feel that you are the only one going through trials, tribulation and trouble but as a believer in Christ you must be able to identify those feelings as lies from the enemy. Lies created to isolate you through disappointment, discouragement and depression. Many times when we go through things we have a tendency to withdraw and pull away from the very thing that will help us.

Are you experiencing trouble? Now is not the time to stay away from church services, Bible study or gatherings. These are the very things God ordained and anointed to help get you through! God has warned us that we will not live without afflictions but He also promised that he will deliver you from them all. So when these inevitable hard times of life hit, stick close to your church family and trust completely that the God who raised Jesus Christ from the dead will resurrect you and bring you through any suffering!
