"The art of living lies less in eliminating our troubles than in growing with them."
– Bernard Baruch

Disciples so often get into trouble; still, God is there every time.

Psalm 34:18-20

We tend to live with the mindset that if and when troubles come our way it is a sign, that in some way, we have failed God and we are now getting our just deserts.

This is not however what Gods word says, in fact we are warned many times that, as Christians, we will experience many troubles, but we have also been  promised that our God will remain with us through them all.

And when we accept that He is with us even in the bad times, we will experience His peace and joy, no matter how difficult the situation may be.

Stay fervently focused

Much love
