Wouldn't it be wonderful if a blue print for life existed that could provide us with a clear cut plan for circumventing adversity? The word of God provides us with the wisdom needed to live a life that glorifies God, and provides us with instruction for overcoming tribulation. The truth is adversity is a part of life, and in order to live a life of purpose we must prepare and equip ourselves mentally and physically in order to overcome the trials that are sure to come our way. Adversity is a wonderful teacher that can allow us an opportunity to learn from mistakes thus eventually shaping us into stronger, more effective individuals. We must develop the type of faith that sees beyond obstacles, and press forward until the victory is received. Along our journey we must stay in tune with God's plan and purpose to ensure that the adversity we're facing is not the result of operating outside of God's will. We can have confidence and faith that we are sure to receive the victory if our endurance is for the glory of God. Make sure you're fighting for the winning team!
