School Of Hard Knocks

Read Psalm 119:65-72

Reflection of Tommy:

Our lives in this fallen world are still subject to pain, hurt and suffering. Experiencing the abundant life God has promised for us does not mean our lives will be problem-free. In fact, life can be a series of problems that can break us apart if we were to live solely with our own strength. Many unsuspecting Christians are surprised, confused and discouraged by these difficulties when they do not allow themselves to be renewed constantly by God’s sustaining grace and strength.

Instead of feeling disillusioned and disheartened when we are assaulted by the storms in life, seek to learn from our mistake and God’s lesson for us (v71) and march forward with His strength to come out stronger than before. Let Him lead You through the Spirit, to be filled with His assuring love and peace, that we be a victor in all our battles.

Dear Father, thank You for the warning and also lesson You’ve shown to me; protecting me from all the unnecessary problem in this life. Teach me to trust You more and exchange all my doubts with a childlike faith and trust in You always. Guide me I pray, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
