Faith is intended to give us the wisdom and power to walk through life's hardest times, not just to get rid of those times. Hard times are the canvas upon which God paints a life purpose of victory.God's purpose for life's trials can bring us into our finest hour. But we need to learn to let Him make us before He will send us. The trial is never about the trial. By faith we learn to find something worth dying for, and then we will have found something worth living for.
When Job played the victim card and said he didn’t deserve such suffering, God came in a whirlwind with a revelation of majesty that exposed his self-righteous heart. Upon repenting, his life was restored. He found that God uses all His creation to say, “I will take care of you.”

Neither our bodies, nor finances, diseases, possessions or people need define our life. Without Jesus, we have existence, but not life. He defines the future, and His glory defines our intended life. Your soul need never long for peace, value, or love. He gives life with no shame or regrets. Dare to let go of your life.

Many try to define God by their pain saying, "My hard life is the source of the truth of the mysteries of the universe and existence itself." God showed Job, “When you accept that I am in charge in your pain, then you can accept that I am in charge of your deliverance." Self-righteous reality never wins.
Your soul doesn't want a vacation, more money, health, or possessions. It wants what it was created to experience - the manifestation of a son of God in glorious liberty from all that holds you back. The Holy Spirit can work in you to insure that neither hardship nor moral failure define you.

I must have faith that Christ can light up the tombs of this world where my carnal life is entangled in powerlessness. Instead of finding despair and defeat, His light will surely prevail. Brought to the edge of despair, my Shepherd led me into the valley of the shadow of death to show me how to fear no evil.

As in marriage, American unity won't work by demanding what we think we deserve. When a man is trying to find his inner needs through his wife instead of from God, he’s made an idol out of her that she can never live up to. Life with dignity and respect works by grace verses our heightened sense of justice.

It takes something supernatural to live the life we were born for. Jesus pleads our cause on the grounds of justice as One who died for us. He can say nothing good of us that will win the day. He alone restores us into divine favor. We’ll never arrive at a place where we no longer need a Savior.

Every nagging jab that eats the soul away little by little until nothing’s left is where supernatural life can begin. Never say, “I did good. Why's this happening?” Only your cross can bring you indestructible life. It’s not found in your features or flaws. Your cross is the beginning, not the end.

We were born that way, but we don’t have to die that way. It’s called sin. We’ve all got it, and there is a Savior. We can live by faith instead of being led by feelings. This is not Pride Month; it’s called June. One problem - too many preachers are telling us what to do, and too few are preaching the power of faith.
It is not the presence of life's storms that defeats us; it is the absence of Christ's presence. Don’t act like you don't have a Savior! Suffering doesn’t mean God has something against you. Seek Him until you find Him. It's that simple, really. Every time you entertain fear, you’re allowing your heart to defy His promises.
What do I fear? What do I want? Fears and hopes become the substance of what is truly ruling my life. Faith that doesn't set me free is usually blocked by an idol that is demanding I serve it. Fear, sorrow, or anger are signs of an idol manipulating and dominating me. Turning from it will release my faith.

God’s best for us is not what things He can give. His best is giving Himself to us. Too many people have tried to apprehend the love of God in the suffering in their world yet haven’t, because God isn't bigger to them than their world is. Have faith that Christ will light up the darkest tombs in your life.

You’ve been given all you need to be all that God’s called you to be. But your faith must be tested in the fire to produce the patience you need to love with. Don’t fret. Refining doesn’t mean failure. Your heaviness in faith’s season of testing will end in joy that is unspeakable and full of glory forever.

"Lord, I’ve been shaken like a leaf. How can I relate to you, you’re so big?” "Just jump in," He said! "Stop trying to figure out how I work. Trust Me. Don’t act like I’m no bigger than your thoughts. You measure speed and distance by the speed of light. I can walk faster than that! I’m much bigger than your problems.”
Kingdom life begins where carnal life ends. My despair over my failures is the crucifixion that begins His resurrection in me. I may think God is disappointed in me until I realize it’s just failed faith in myself. When I’ve hit bottom and am empty, God can start filling me up with His life. I can resign as manager of the universe!
The trauma of a life tragically altered numbs the senses until faith seems impossible. God takes the outrageous things of life, like the crucifixion, and He turns them all into seeds of eternal victory! A firestorm is a sign of impending divine intervention. He builds faith in places of impossibilities.

Sometimes I spend too much time thinking about who I’m not instead of who I am. To deny who I am is to deny who Christ is, for He gave His life to me. My sin and unbelief have kept me from the fulfillment of self-esteem, not my lack of accomplishments. God has crowned us with glory and honor. Ps. 8
