HOW TO DEAL WITH DIFFICULTIES: YOUR TROUBLES ARE LIKE KITCHEN KNIVES<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Bible tells us that, \u201cman is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward\u201d (Job 5:7). It is inevitable<\/em> that troubles of one sort or another, at some time or another, will come into our lives. What is important<\/em> is how we deal with them. \u201cTroubles,\u201d someone said, \u201care like kitchen knives; they will either help<\/em> us or hurt<\/em> us, depending on how we handle them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes God allows difficulties to come into our lives to call our attention to the wrongness of a path we\u2019ve taken in terms of our attitude, actions or associations, etc. in order to bring about convictions in us that will work to our overall good. Many of us have learned that some things that we\u2019ve thought were the worst<\/em> things that could have happened to us, have turned out to be the best<\/em> things that ever happened to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important that you and I be very prayerful, thoughtful and careful about the way we think about and deal with the difficulties we experience in life. Otherwise, Satan is liable and likely to find a way to turn something that God intended to turn to our advantage into something he can make work to our disadvantage and despair. See Gen. 50:20; Rom. 8:28: Joel. 2:25; Hab. 3:17-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
