How Difficulties Affect Us

Just because we want to live for God doesn’t mean we won’t face difficult times.

The difference being a Christian should make is in how difficulties affect us or how we react to them. Even when life gets cloudy and uncertain we have an anchor of truth for our souls through prayer and reading the Bible. I don’t say this as the trite Christian answer. I know that God’s truth really helps!

The Bible says that people who follow God’s words are like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came, the waters rose and the winds blew and beat against the house; yet it didn’t fall, because its foundation was built on the rock!

The rock in this story is God’s truth. It’s during hard times that reading God’s words AND following them will give us peace and security!
