Focus: When times are Bad

WORD FOR TODAY
Bad times in the lifetime of a man will not but come as a time of character development, chastisement and the time of test. When times are bad be mindful of the fact that God is the God of all times!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, a man cannot discover anything about his future (Ecclesiastes 7:14 NIV)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In life we cannot but experience bad times. Every man created by God will have a share of his own ordeal in the land of the living. It is not a function of whether you are a believer or not, a sinner or a saint. In this life there will be several evil days. When they come do not consider it strange but seek the Lord for help to have a breakthrough in those times.

The word of the Lord makes it clear to us that everything works together for the good of those called according to His purpose (Rom 8:28). If you are doing the will of God and not living in disobedience bad times are instrument meant to shapen your life into the intended purpose of God. When bad times comes; they will roll away when the purpose of God is achieved. Hence, we must try as much as possible to cooperate with God in all situation we find ourselves to bring out the good out of our lives.

Hmm

Hard times are not a test orchestrated by the divine for some specific purpose. It's just a common phase of human life. Hard times have no purpose and they are caused by man's actions, mistakes or ignorance. Anyone can fall into hard times.

The good thing about hard times is that you may learn a lot about people's true colour, you become tough and have a better grasp of the reality of human life and your world but that doesn't mean it's orchestrated by some god for a divine purpose.

When one falls into hard times, one should work and hustle one's way out of hard times no matter how long it takes. If the breakthrough doesn't come, no problem and life still goes on. Most importantly, never forget the lessons you've learnt about people and your world during hard times.
