Pushing through life’s daily challenges


Don’t let the tests and trials of life discourage you. Yes, you may be wondering why things take so long at times? I think back to the tests I took throughout my lifetime. I’m talking about the academic and business certification variety. Some were short and to the point. Others seemed to go on and on.

The test was the thing that stood between what I had and what I wanted. It was the thing that stood between where I was and where I wanted to be.

Truth be told, I dislike waiting for things to happen or play out as much as the next person. But – Jesus told us we’d be tested. Acts 14:22 says, “through much tribulation, we enter the Kingdom of God.”

Jesus himself when through many tests and trials. In today’s podcast, I’d like to talk about our part and God’s part in the journey of life. Yes, we have take action. We can’t just sit around and wonder – calling that faith. But, we can’t depend on our own ingenuity or ability to figure things out, either. We have to trust and depend on God.

Today, we’ll look at how both of these things fit together like opposite sides of the same coin.
