INSIGHT

Adversity Is Unavoidable But Not Always Bad

  • Adversity is unavoidable because we live in a fallen world and not all hardship is bad.
  • How we respond determines whether adversity becomes a blessing or a setback.
ADVICE

Accept Weakness To Receive God's Power

  • When weakness persists, rely on God's sufficient grace and let His power be perfected in your weakness.
  • Embrace weakness so the power of Christ can dwell in you.
INSIGHT

Two Responses Shape Spiritual Outcomes

  • People respond to adversity by either walking away from God or drawing closer to Him.
  • That choice shapes faith, patience, courage, and holiness.
