There are three things we can do when facing trials in our lives:
1. Endure it
2. Escape it
3. Embrace it
When we simply try to endure or escape the trials in our lives, we have a tendency to become hard and bitter and miss the opportunities that god has in store for us. but if we embrace our trials and see God's will through them, then we can see our trial through Christ's eyes and see the purpose He has for us.
The Apostle Paul embraced his trials. He said in 2 Corinthians 12:9b-10 "For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weakness, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
My friend, we cannot run from our trials, we need to embrace them. We need to claim the promises of God and obey the Word of God, in spite of what we see or how we feel or what may happen to us. We need to Fully Rely On God in every circumstance of our lives.
To hear more about embracing our Trials, please see the study of the Book of Ruth - Chapter One: http://studyofruthandesther.blogspot.com/
