Topic: Taking Charge Of Your Adversity

When we are in any kind of adversity, whether it be adversity related to our finances, our family, our education, our relationships, our health, or any other area of life, we are easily tempted to throw up our hands and give up. When we are overwhelmed by adversity we are tempted to surrender control of our life to the opponent who seeks our ultimate defeat. When we are in adversity and the adversity has overtaken us and is dominating us, we have not taken charge of the opponent because we have not marshaled our resources. The opponent comes into our life and overtakes us because we have not grasped onto the Light. When we are attacked, we must put our faith in God through whom we can do all things. Some of us may live in our adversity for years or even die in our adversity. However, the final score of our life is not written on earth. We play out the game as best we can and it is God, the just and righteous judge, who alone writes the final score of our life. Our life is a winning life only if we fully embrace the Light and embrace the love of God through Christ. When we fully embrace the Light and love of God through Christ, we win. When we do not fully embrace the Light and love of God through Christ, we lose. Although we cannot touch the hem of the Great Physician's garment like we might have when He walked the earth, we can touch and be touched by Christ's spirit still touching, still healing, and still restoring.
