Adversity Or Adventure
Life is full of adversity and adventure. Some times we can't tell one from the other. Our adversity may become a rejoicing adventure or an adventure become a regret.
Many talented and gifted people become failures because they give up when the going gets tough.
The Prophet Jeremiah became discouraged and wanted to quit. People mocked him for preaching in God's name.
Jeremiah 20:9 . . . . But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
He couldn't quit.
God's Word in us will build our faith, and He will strengthen us to keep us from quitting.
When we are discouraged, defeated, and weak, we are in a place where God can strengthen us.
2 Corinthians 12:9,10 My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness . . . . for when I am weak, then am I strong.
