,UExif MM * *0 *0 ( 1 2 ; : i @ l Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. 1 Peter 5:6
Adversity is something that I wish I could live without. Sometimes I think that if I could just be a better person and obey God completely, then He would remove all of the hardships and difficulty that seem to surround me.
In reality I’ve learned though that God allows adversity into the lives of His children to grow us spiritually. The Bible teaches in Psalm 34:19 that although Believers can expect to experience adversity, we can also rest in the promise the God will deliver us out of them all.
We must have faith and trust in God’s word that He will bring us through the experience more mature and closer to Him. My response when I start looking at my adversity from God’s perspective is to humble myself under His hand and trust His promise to exalt me in due time.
Did this picture catch your eye? Maybe it wasn’t an accident
In Isaiah 55:11, God says that wherever He sends His word it never returns empty, but always achieves the special purpose for which it was sent. Perhaps God sent this word to you today?
This art has been rendered with a special Painting with Light technique that “paints” the picture using the Bible verse text as the paintbrush. The picture you see is actually the Bible verse painted millions of times repeatedly across the canvas.
