Coming up next

We’ve all encountered rough spots in our lives when trouble showed up and we wanted to disappear and hide from it. The tendency is to think that doing this will somehow change the situation or make it go away; however, it’s important not to run or pretend that the battle doesn’t exist. This type of response stems from the garden of Eden when Adam ran away from God after sinning. We can learn how to handle the situation from David, who didn’t run from Goliath but instead stood up to him.

Life isn’t always easy. It’s to be expected that we’ll struggle with adversity from time to time. However, the believer always wins, because our triumph is in the finished works of Jesus Christ. No matter what the situation looks like, we’ve already won because of what Jesus accomplished. God’s love for us reassures us and gives us confidence that He’ll rescue and deliver us from whatever trouble we fall into.
