The Apostle John wrote, “In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33) So we can’t be surprised by the adversities that come into our life, for it’s those stressors of life that build our Spiritual strength. If there were no struggles, there would certainly be no building of our Spiritual strength. Oswald Chambers once wrote, “God does not give us overcoming life – He gives us life as we overcome.” (Revelation 2:7) So the first step for us to do when the weight of hardship presses down on our life is to face the strain head-on…and God will provide wisdom, comfort, & strength. Think about it, if you give everything of yourself physically, you will soon become exhausted…but when you give yourself Spiritually, you will gain strength…not for some future time, but for the moments ahead. And this ever-growing Spiritual strength enables us then to face any adversity victoriously as we overcome.
