Living for Christ?

2 Corinthians 4:8 ERV"We have troubles all around us, but we are not defeated. We often don’t know what to do, but we don’t give up."

                     Sometimes we are overwhelmed by situations that we come across in life , it can be in marriage , child rearing, businesses, ministries and also careers. We tend to focus on the problems surrounding us forgetting that we have God who is in control of everything. When you focus on your problem instead of Christ the enemy the devil reminds you of all the reasons why you should give up and doubt God but he has assured us that he will be there for us at all times         2Corinthians 4:9 ERV "We are persecuted, but God does not leave us. We are hurt sometimes, but we are not destroyed." God's promise to be with us in crisis is permanent when we accept him as our personal Lord and Savior because all these problems and issues are like sandpaper to wood thereby performing what is written in 2 Corinthians 4:17 ERV "We have small troubles for a while now, but these troubles are helping us gain an eternal glory. That eternal glory is much greater than our troubles."
                               The problems are never permanent but our God is permanent so we need to focus on him to help us go through situation that are not really encouraging- 2 Corinthians 4:18 ERV "So we think about what we cannot see, not what we see. What we see lasts only a short time, and what we cannot see will last forever."
