LIFE is not easy! Many life experiences play out in the valley with an occasional sojourn on the mountain top! It's been said that often life is more like a battleground than a playground! Jesus didn't mince words when He proclaimed in the world you will have tribulation (John 16:33). All mankind experiences circumstances that can only be successfully overcome as we claim God's promises and identify and apply God's principles to our lives. We will experience tribulation, but, we can be of good cheer, because Christ has overcome the world (John 16:33). Yes, we will inevitably Walk Through The Fire, yet, we need not be consumed by the fire as we access and apply the power of God's Word while in the midst of the fire; indeed, His power enables us to walk through the fire; a fire that ultimately will be used by God to purify and refine us as we strive to continually be used as His instruments in impacting the lives of others for the glory of God.
