In our lives as Christians, hard times may come; the crises of life can come to you in trials, temptations, and persecution. But at such times, hold on; don’t give up, because it only came to pass.

2 Corinthians 4:17 AMP says; For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!]

Recall Jesus’ statement to His captors at His arrest; He said, “I was with you in the Temple every day, and you did not try to arrest me.

But this is your hour to act, when the power of darkness rules” (Luke 22:53 GNB). It was for a moment. When it was over, the glorified Son of God was manifested. Halleluiah!

So, you may go through difficulties and times of darkness, but the Bible says count it all joy when you go through diverse tests, knowing that the trial of your faith works patience (James 1:2); it’ll turn out for your good.

It may be that you’ve been giving to the Lord, sowing your seeds, and paying your tithes, and suddenly, you lose your job. If that happens, don’t panic.

Don’t say, “O God, why is this happening to me?” Someone may even say to you, “If you’re truly a Christian, this should never happen to you”; that’s not true.

Some things can happen to you even though you’re a Christian, but it doesn’t change who you are; you’re still a victor!

The circumstances of your life don’t, and shouldn’t, describe or dictate the quality of your personality.
