When Adversity Escalates

Difficulties occur all the time in the Christian life because we live in a sinful and broken

world that is hostile to the Lord. When these trying circumstances occur, we sometimes

understand that this is a normal part of the Christian life. The challenges mount when these

situations escalate and no matter how hard we pray, worship or read our Bibles our

situation goes from bad to worse. During seasons like this we can often question God’s

goodness or if he even cares for us. Learning to trust the Lord in difficulties is one of the

ways that God grows our character and helps build spiritual muscles in God’s plan for our

lives. Learning what we can specifically trust God for can truly help us as God orchestrates

our circumstances. This week we highlighted four areas where a believer can trust in God.

Use these to help you mature in your faith.
