Trials of Life

I will be starting a new series of weekly devotionals. The focus in this series will be the trials of life. We will look at various Scriptures throughout the Bible that deal with going through struggles. Why do we have to go through them? Can I get through them? What purpose do they serve in my life? The Bible answers these questions and many more about the struggles and trials we all experience.

Suffering, trouble, struggles, trials, and hard times are as much a part of the Christian life as joy and blessing. By necessity we must learn how to approach and deal with these hard times. As My pastor often says, “The forecast is... trouble today and trouble tomorrow.” Or as I heard an old preacher once say, “The Christian life is all about hard times. We’re either coming out of hard times, in the middle of hard times, or heading into hard times.”

I hope and pray that you will be blessed by reading these short devotionals about the hard times we go through as Christians. My goal is to make this a weekly writing but as we all know….Life happens. Struggles come. And things don’t always work out just like we want them to.
May God bless us all!
