 Adversity

Adversity

"A state, condition, or instance of serious or continued difficulty" 

"Adversity is the diamond dust heaven polishes its jewels with."

Robert Leighton

"If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small."

Pr. 24:10

ADVERSITY

    Is the friction of life.

    Displays our character.

    Will either destroy us or strengthen us.

    Is often opportunity in disguise.

    Polishes the mirror of our Faith.

    Often detours our Faith.

    Challenges our Faith.

Refines our Faith.

Handling Adversity

    Rejoice in the Lord

    Fellowship

    Meditation in The Word

    Prayer & supplication

    Remain steadfast in the faith.

    A quiet spirit

    Seek counsel from the godly.

    Forsake not the Assembly.

"Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: [13] But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy."

1 Pet 4:12, 13
