Topic: Adversity As A Way To Find Hope

Psalms 25:5 (NIV) "Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my savior, and my hope is in you all day long." Finding and keeping hope alive in our life is work. The ability to find and keep hope alive is learned by working through adversity in our life. As we work through adversity, one of the most important factors in finding and keeping hope alive is the quality of making ourselves teachable. The more willing we are to be taught by God, the more we learn. Like being a student in school, the more willing we are to learn, the more we learn. In school, if we are rebellious and do not pay attention, we lose out and learn little or nothing at all. With God as your teacher, you can take on the darkness and take on adversity with a winning attitude rather than sitting in bewildered silence over your circumstances. In addition, things happen differently when you are seeking wisdom from God while you are in adversity. When you take in and learn the wisdom of God, everything within you changes. Even if your outside world of adversity has not changed, learning the wisdom of God changes you on the inside, and being changed on the inside means you have been touched by God.
