When the going gets tough…

So when the going gets tough do you get going or stand your ground?

I have found in life there are those who run when the going gets tough and a few who face challenges head on. Through the years I have found it’s better to face thing head on and move on learning as I go.

Have you ever thought about how many challenges Jesus faced? He didn’t have the internet, or telephones, radio or TV to get his word out. Travel wasn’t in a car, train or plane, it was on foot most of the time along with camel, ass, ox or horse.

Can you imagine being told to go spread the word of God knowing after your journey you were going to die to save the souls of sinners?

When the going got tough for Jesus he didn’t run he stood his ground, faced his challenges head on and teaching, by example as he kept going down his chosen path by his father.

Today too many couples give up on their marriage or relationships because they are not strong enough to get past their problems and work things out. This happens more times than it really should in the world today. Weak people can’t get past the “they’ve done me wrong” personal feelings. The stronger ones will really look at who, what, when and why it’s happening;  take themselves out of the situation mentally, looking at it from a distance before making a major decision without talking.

Some can’t work through it, based on how weak or strong the couple is or the situation. But the ones who do find their lives are blessed for it.

Take time to read your Bible every day.

““Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” - 1 Corinthians 15:55-57
