The words of a song from 1944 by The Ink Spots were, "Into each life some rain must fall."
There is truth in those words and adversity will strike each person
sometime. It may be that nothing can be done to deflect the problems we
face. When that happens, we can trust in the two main supports during
adversity. They are hope and patience. Without hope, we lose a sure
anchor and without patience we lose our faith and trust. God responds at
exactly the right time and in the right way. That is why He is
completely wise and right in all He does.
No trial or adversity is pleasant, but the testing of our trust and
faith in God develops patience. Our faith is based on the hope of His
intervention (James 1:2-4
). With these two tools in your toolbox, adversity will come and go without robbing you of the joy of life. Rain makes the flowers grow.
