TRIALS, TESTS,

Struggles, challenges represent opportunities to grow.

Nothing touches our lives without the sovereign hand of GOD.

When we struggle with a difficulty, obstacle or challenge... 

look at it as [your assignment] to manage with God and your spiritual teachings.

These CIRCUMSTANCES are in God’s hands too.

And everytime “circumstances” press in on us

we are to get in the habit of 

- Seeking GOD. 

- Seek what He is saying to us

- Seek how and where He wants us to grow in our inner being
