Growing Through Our Adversity

Pastor Dewey Moede

The Power of LIGHT over the darkness. Think of the darkness of our thoughts, our emotions and even our will. Jesus said, my people are perishing for a lack of knowledge. I pray this brings a light of understanding to your soul! Friends, when you see God is good and evil is evil, you will never be the same. You won't spend so much time trying to figure God out ... You will spend more time asking God to change your own heart to love like Jesus and be a reflection of the one true KING! This is the power of light to the darkness! When one child of God receives the LIGHT, a light will light up an entire dark room! Go and make disciples ... Yes, God is calling you. Many are called / few are chosen. Are you willing is the question?

Growing Through Our Adversity

James 1:2-4

What would happen if you approached a fork in the road and found two signs—one reading “Road of Comfort” and the other, “Road of Adversity”? Most of us would probably veer onto the path of comfort with a sigh of relief, because no one wants to experience pain, disappointment, or loss. Yet hardships are an essential part of the believer’s spiritual journey.

First of all, adversity reveals our view of the Lord. The more clearly we understand who God is and what He desires to accomplish in us, the stronger our faith and the greater our joy will be. But if we’re focused on the negative aspects of our circumstances, we may begin to doubt His loving sovereignty and good purposes.

Second, adversity teaches us the truth about ourselves. Sinful attitudes and misplaced priorities often come to the surface in times of affliction. Though we may just want the situation to improve, God intends to teach us through it. So it’s important that we have a willingness to learn.

Instead of seeing our difficulties as loss, we need to view them as a means God uses to build endurance. Then we may be, as James says, “lacking in nothing” (James 1:4).
